The Kuzma CAR 60 MC cartridge is a flagship offering in the phono cartridge category.
Designed by Franc Kuzma and built in Japan to exacting standards, it uses a large motor with a 4N silver coil. From its billet aluminum housing, a diamond cantilever with a micro-ridge diamond stylus extrudes.
For maximum performance, pair the CAR60 with a Kuzma Safir.
Here is what Roy Gregory and Michael Fremer say about the CAR60:
HIFI+ UK August 2018 #162: Roy Gregory reviewed Kuzma CAR 60 MC cartridge and front cover said: Is this world’s best cartridge? …. “the CAR 60 does not just bring the musicians to life, it allows the music to breathe and communicate, engage, and seduce. Because that is what makes the CAR 60 special: you do not hear IT because you hear the performance; it’s not about sonics, it’s all about music.” Full review in pdf

“Tonally, the KUZMA CAR 60 MC Cartridge was as neutral-sounding a cartridge as you’ll find. It was neither tipped up nor rolled off on top, and its bottom-end extension and resolution of low-level detail were what you should expect from a cartridge costing over $10,000.”
