Etsuro Urushi

Etsuro Urushi is a Japanese cartridge manufacturer specialising in handcrafted moving coil cartridges that combine advanced analogue engineering with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Produced by Excel Sound Corporation, the range uses premium materials such as sapphire, diamond, extra-super duralumin and Urushi lacquer finishes to maximise rigidity, reduce resonance and improve signal transmission. Each cartridge is hand-assembled with a strong focus on precision, musicality and detail retrieval, delivering a refined and highly transparent analogue sound. The distinctive finishes and traditional craftsmanship also make each model visually unique. At Spinning Room HiFi, Etsuro Urushi cartridges are available to hear and compare in-store.
