Tiger Eye Platinum Diamond

About the Tiger Eye Platinum Diamond

The Koetsu Tiger Eye Platinum Diamond is a low-output moving coil phono cartridge using a rare Tigereye stone body that is hand selected, machined from solid stone, and finely polished for maximum hardness and rigidity, contributing to excellent tracking and highly refined, natural sound. It employs silver-plated copper coil wiring, platinum magnets, and a boron cantilever, with an output of 0.3 mV and a frequency response of 20 Hz to 100 kHz. Channel separation is approximately 25 dB at 1 kHz with channel balance within 0.5 dB, and internal impedance is 5 ohms, supporting detailed imaging and stable stereo focus. Recommended tracking force is 1.8–2.0 grams, recommended load impedance is approximately 75–500 ohms, and cartridge weight is about 12.5 g, making it suitable for medium-to-high effective mass tonearms. This cartridge is aimed at audiophiles seeking a very natural, timbrally rich, and highly resolving analog presentation with strong depth, texture, and soundstage precision.
