RE: "Kiseki Black" = Koetsu Black?

Posted by Sondek on September 11, 2020 at 19:14:21:
Herman van den Dungen (sp?), the man behind Ah! Tjoeb and more recently, PrimaLuna, was a Koetsu dealer in the Netherlands back in the day. He got fed up with the inconsistent quality and general PITA of dealing with Koetsu, so he spec'd out his own cartridge and found a Japanese builder for it. He called his cartridge company Kiseki.

When the LP nearly died, Herman quit the cart business. He is now behind the newly reconstituted Kiseki. I do not know who is building them for him. With the PrimaLuna tie-in, it should come as no surprise that Kevin Deal is the US distributor for Kiseki.

The Purple Heart NS is an absolutely stunning performer and value. I can highly recommend it.
