Kiseki, a classic cartridge manufacturer from the 1980s, have been revamped and redesigned in 2013. After two years of experimenting, testing many different materials and techniques has resulted in better, new cartridges. The two moving coil models are the Blue N.S. (new style) and the PurpleHeart N.S.
The bodies are now shorter which makes it easier to install in most tone arms in today's market. The shape is a squarer body and the internal design is based on their NOS cartridges but with all parts from current production.
Kiseki Blue N.S
The Kiseki Blue N.S. has a body machined from solid aluminium, an aluminium cantilever, and the motor built from the best available parts. This model surpasses the sound of the original Blue from the 1980s and the more recent Blue N.O.S.

Kiseki PurpleHeart N.S.
The Kiseki PurpleHeart N.S. has a body made from rare purpleheart wood which turns from brown to a warm purple colour after exposure to sunlight. It has a thin boron cantilever and fine diameter diamond. Very lightweight at 7 grams. A true high-end cartridge at a realistic price.
A very natural and beguiling sound from both models, marginally on the warmer side of neutral. The sound stage is large and deep but probably not as much as those from the Benz-Micro or the Clearaudio cartridge equivalents.
