■Cartridge
・Uses third generation vibration system
DS-E3 uses the third generation vibration system, which is the same design as other products.
We have achieved an overwhelmingly low price while inheriting the advantages of the third generation vibration system, such as high output due to independent LED and PD, improved channel separation, and use of beryllium light shielding plates.
・Oval needle used on aluminum cantilever
The cantilever is made of aluminum and the needle tip is an oval needle (solid diamond). While adopting the third generation vibration system, we have increased the mass production efficiency by setting the channel separation 1db lower.
■Equalizer
・Renewed amplifier circuit and power supply circuit
In addition to making the amplifier circuit symmetrical, the DS-E3 equalizer also makes the voltage supplied to the cartridge more stable, resulting in clearer and faster sound.
・Achieved miniaturization by using operational amplifiers
The DS-E3 equalizer uses an operational amplifier as the amplification element and minimizes the signal path, greatly reducing the number of parts and achieving miniaturization. As a result, it is approximately 1/3 the size of the DS003 equalizer.

from 18 reviewsVery quick mailing/delivery … packaged very thoroughly with abundance of bubble wrap 👍 the item in pristine condition… very easy and professional transaction… all the way from Japan even! Would definitely do business with them again.
Have done some test, love Takatsuki and also very responsive and trusted seller! Already bought 4 300b's of them and tested well with my RoeTest v11 professional tube Tester!
I bought this guitar and I am very happy with it. It had to travel half of the globe, but the shipping was fast and the seller answered all my questions via e-mail.
The guitar itself has a chunky Fretboard, but is playable with ease. As far I can tell, the electronics seem to be all good, stamp on the pickup is right, it needs more playing for further statements.
And to my biggest surprise: the guitar came almost perfectly intonated fresh out of box.
I highly recommend to at least get in touch with the seller if you're interested in one of his products.
