EAT Yosegi Cartridge

"Yosegi" - the traditional Japanese way of making objects of real value. A series of "micro-square" pieces of different natural woods are glued together using special resins. It takes incredible skill to work with high precision at a level that can only be achieved by the hands of long practiced and highly trained specialists.

The result is "jewels made of wood". Yosegi techniques are expensive, but capable of creating extraordinary beauty protected by extremely high durability. What could be better than to use this culture to make the bodies of phono cartridges and system supports (tonearm tubes)? The new EAT Yosegi phono cartridge and system cartridge are transformed into the most elegant objects of art using Yosegi wood ... and sound !

An audiophile dream is to own a rare and precious object of incomparable sound quality. This dream becomes reality with Yosegi. At the heart of the cartridge are selected motors, carriers and diamonds of the quality expected by the best Japanese-made buyers. Thanks to the combination of traditional Yosegi woodworking skills and modern high-end materials, the EAT Yosegi pickup produces a wonderfully even yet lively and open reproduction of the stored music.

It is an ideal symbiosis of tradition, art and modern technology, which is further enhanced by its inner exclusivity. Listen . . . and enjoy!
