Ikeda - Kai - Handmade in Japan: MC Reference Supper desirable Cartridge:

 

As new factory boxed as new and only carefully used 300 - 400 hours

Regularly $8,500 great opportunity only $3,895.


IKEDA Sound Labs new KAI Reference MC Cartridge is the highlight of over four decades of experiences in cartridge design.


The KAI is designed to rank amongst the very best out there together
with Lyra Atlas and Goldfinger Statement. It represents Ikeda san's
over 4 decades of experiences in cartridge design. The KAI represents
his finest masterpiece ever made in his entire analog career.


The new KAI moving coil cartridge is the culmination of technology and craftsmanship to now represent his best efforts to date.


Each cartridge is hand assembled, precisely aligned and inspected one by one.


Output voltage is 0.19 mVrms,

coil impedance is 2.5 Ohms

stylus force is 1.8 gram (+/-0.2 grams).

Frequency response
is from 10Hz to 45kHz,

channel separation is over 27dB

channel
balance is within 1.0dB (1kHz).


The newest flagship Ikeda KAI MC cartridge is the very special model
that uses the high quality materials and components in each part of
cartridge in order to further improve the performance over conventional
models.


The body unit is made of a solid aluminum alloy and the base
mounting the generator unit is made of the strongest Titanium by lathing
a piece of aluminum alloy and Titanium one by one precisely. The body
unit is buff polished and then coated with an Ikeda Blue Alumite. These
special materials and the craftsmanship will bring out thoroughly the
possible abilities of both the micro-ridge stylus chip which will be
able to trace a groove accurately up to the super high range and also of
the cantilever made of Boron which can secure a superior delivery of
oscillation.


In addition, thanks to the highly efficient Permalloy core, low
impedance coils, ideally shaped magnet yoke and the generator unit
embedded samarium-cobalt magnet; it is possible to reproduce the sound
as close as the original at the highest level.


Ikeda KAI cartridge is always sophisticatedly assembled, precisely
aligned and inspectingly produced one by one by spending plenty of time
with the fulfillment of various kinds of conditions required for the
best phono cartridge as a playback device, for instance, in order to
extract the musical elements as it is recorded in LPs/SPs, especially
the absolute performance hidden in the specifications.
