Michael Fremer, still in Japan, visits the manufacturer of the DS Audio Optical Cartridges, in Japan.
DS Audio, set up 3 yrs ago to revive the the Toshiba optical pickup cartridge concept (from the 70s?), is a division of Digital Stream Corp, an industrial laser optics specialist.
We have discussed this recently:
darklantern.proboards.com/thread/537/ds-audio-002-optical-cartridge
Costly, US$5k for the lower-priced DS-002 model, which includes its own preamp-equaliser unit (EQs RIAA & outputs line level signal).
The flagship model is their DS Master 1.
