For the body of the pickup, spruce wood from the northern Italian region of South Tyrol is used, which is known for using the wood to make legendary violins, including the famous “Stradivari” The wood is carefully selected and carved to perfection.

In addition, the surface of the pickup body is coated with an extremely fine “powder coating”. This coating not only improves the organic resonance of the pickup but also provides a more intense listening experience.

The “EX2000” represents the culmination of Analog Relax’s commitment to unparalleled audio quality, and we look forward to audiophiles and music enthusiasts experiencing its remarkable capabilities. “Do not miss the opportunity to discover this extraordinary addition to the world of audio technology!”

High Fidelity

I can’t get the translator to cooperate

But from their annual awards page:
”A cartridge that costs 99,000 PLN? That's pure madness! And yet... The Analog Relax EX-2000 is a top cartridge that goes a step further than the company's other (less) expensive models. It offers an even better resolution, differentiation, richness and fullness of the sound, extraordinary internal energy, brilliant coherence, smoothness, fluidity and naturalness of sound, and a so incredibly high, intense level of experience that it left it me speechless as I found it really difficult to put into words what I heard while listening to it. So please, don't believe my, imperfect, insufficient words, but rather try to listen to it in a well-composed, top-notch system! I can't imagine that you can regret such, unique experience.”

Analog Relax products used to be a lot cheaper in Japan before they started selling them abroad. If you go to Japan, you can get the same cartridges for much less, although they might have a different name. The ones sold overseas are more expensive to make sure the distributors and dealers make a good profit.
These cartridges are known for their vibrant colours and great sound. They add a nice, colourful touch to the music and sound good.

They are not as Dynamic as a few others carts in a similar price range, so it comes down to the main type of music you listen too.

No Urishi painted beechwood version available?

Has anyone compared this cartridge directly to an Opus 1?

To a Koetsu stone body?
