Description
The ultra-low impedance MC cartridge ``Eminent'' released in 2003 was the first to commercialize an MC cartridge with the design goal of ``low source impedance, high output energy...''.
With this introduction, for the first time in the world, we were able to reproduce the power of reproduced sound brought about by "ultra-low impedance, high energy output...!"
The driving force behind this was our successful development of the world's only special core material, SH-μX. Even though efforts have been made to improve the performance of magnets and introduce various materials, there has always been a limit to the magnetic properties of the core material that cannot be surpassed. In other words, even if a strong magnetic circuit is introduced, it will not be possible to achieve results that exceed the capabilities (characteristics) of the "core material" in the alternating current magnetic field. This problem has been a problem for many years, but existing magnetic materials cannot overcome this problem. After many years of consideration, Mysonic Lab's special core material ``SH-μX'' was successfully developed. Its characteristics are that it can obtain high output energy due to "improved saturation magnetic flux density (Bs)" and that "improved initial magnetic permeability (μi)" provides low magnetostriction and excellent response (transient). However, this characteristic became the basis for the development of "Eminent," which achieved low impedance (low internal output) and high energy output.
Since then, Mysonic has made numerous upgrades aiming for even greater heights, and has even reached the point of commercializing ``Signature Gold.'' Now, after further research, we will develop and announce ``Signature Platinum.'' The major difference is the adoption of a "Titanium base" and a "Boron cantilever."
By mounting a high-quality magnetic circuit on a "high-strength base," we draw out the difference in strength from aluminum alloy (ultra-super duralumin) and aim for even more precise reproducibility. By adopting a "boron cantilever", we aimed to add a sense of speed and responsiveness similar to "Ultra Eminent Bc".
In particular, "titanium base" is a material that inevitably increases material cost and is extremely difficult to cut, but by overcoming this and adding surface hardening treatment (black/IP processing), the characteristics of the material are further brought out. I was very successful.
If we were to compare the differences between "Gold" and "Platinum," we would find that "Gold" has a calm, youthful, and carefree nature, while "Platinum" is characterized by a more detailed, responsive, and speedy feel. You can say that.

from 20 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.
