Purple Heart = Purple Rain?

Jump on one ASAP!!

I have the Kiseki Blue N.S. on my VPI Classic 2.  It's an excellent cartridge.  Everything I've read about the Purple is that it takes things up another notch.  I bought mine here from seller Kron.  He has the Purple Heart for significantly less than MSRP - https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa76gb-kiseki-purple-heart-n-s-brand-new-cartridges

Having said all that, I have heard a few mentions of people having defective Purple Hearts, so make sure your purchase includes a warranty.

tommy, if you have a unipivot arm on that table you would be much better off with a high compliance Soundsmith.

The Japanese irritate  me  for using the name Purple Heart .
I had to be shot to get mine in Vietnam.  Still hurts ..

Take a look at Soundsmith Paua or Sussurro. I have the latter. It tracks better and retrieves more detail than the Purpleheart which I had. The Purpleheart was also a pain to set up and I also had to get Upscale Audio to send one or two replacements until I got one with a parallel cantilever. But that was 3 or 4 years ago so I can’t speak to the current quality,
