Description:
The Seto‑Hori Remodel is a high-output moving coil (HOMC) cartridge unlike any other. Hand-built in Japan by JICO, it combines a precision-machined aluminium‑copper headshell and a traditionally moulded ceramic body into a single, integrated structure. This screwless design improves rigidity, lowers resonance, and aligns the centre of gravity for exceptional tracking stability.
At its core: a micro ridge diamond stylus paired with a boron cantilever—delivering wide dynamics, low-frequency control and beautifully articulate highs. With custom wiring from Koike Analog Factory and meticulous final assembly by JICO’s lead stylus engineer, the Seto‑Hori Remodel isn’t just a cartridge—it’s a statement of sonic purity and artisanal excellence.
