These are items I picked up personally in Japan. They are incredibly well built tools which I have used occasionally over the last 15 months.

All the needles have been used, 3 of them are perfect, and played for no more than 50-100 hours per item, and one of them may have an issue which would need testing by the buyer.

They come with Taruya needle box and spare stylus cases.

Fits all Technics 1200/1210 headshell type sockets on DJ turntables.

Current retail ex shipping from Japan for this set is around US$1400 :

Taruya 01M-S Blue Cartridge with Pre-Installed Styluss. Genuine product from Japan.

The Best Masterpiece of Taruya cartridge!

We developed ground-breaking new Taruya cartridge 01M-S that has highest performance ever.

We use blue sapphire chips which are said that the load on vinyl is low when compared to the traditional diamond stylus since sapphire is softer than diamond.

This is the world first use of sapphire for the integrated cartridge.

01M-S(Blue Cartridge) is created by improving the quality of our basic model 01-M(Red Cartridge) with best craftsmanship.

For the toughness of needle skipping, it has equal effectiveness to 03-M(White Cartridge) which is for djs scratching frequently.

01M-S(Blue Cartridge) is the finest cartridge that offers the best performance in terms of dj playing and listening at home.
