The name Koetsu has long been held in high regard by audiophiles. Almost mystical attributes have been associated with the name. Yoshiaki Sugano the elder was, it is said, a renowned artist, musician, swordsman, calligrapher, and businessman‚ “I am but a simple man” just doesn’t wash these days. Sugano devoted his life to emulating his hero, a 17th-century Japanese historical figure named Honami Koetsu. As fate would have it, after the war Sugano rose to prominence in one of Japan’s largest industrial companies. Nevertheless, he continued pursuing his many passions, which by then included hi-fi.
The buzz surrounding the release of the original Red signaled a new paradigm was available to the audio world. The Red was one of the early examples of a high-performance audio device that had some obvious shortcomings, but presented music in such an involving and inviting way that the positive aspects of the performance far outweighed the negative ones. Koetsu continues this tradition today and continues to give people musical bliss and countless hours of analogue enjoyment.
