Default Accuphase AC-6 phono cartridge

On Tokyo International Audio Show 2017 Accuphase announced their new MC phono cartridge AC-6.

Its predecessor AC-5 had been marked as discontinued for some time.
Rumours go, that AC-5 had been developed by Mr. Nakatsuka from ZYX.
The price was 241'000 Yen.

The new AC-6 seems to have more in common with designs by Mr. Miura and Mr. Matsudaira from Air Tight, especially their PC-1.
Scheduled for December 2017, the price will be 370'000 Yen.
Interestingly enough, for the very first time Accuphase also gives a price for needle replacement (270'000 Yen).
(Needle replacement on MC cartridges requires a complete rebuild, except for the outer housing.)

Looking forward to reading / hearing more about AC-6.

Martin

P.S. New release leaflets in Japanese of AC-6, E-650, DAC-50 and AC-50 can be found here:
