The final classic: quiet refinements, plus a 1,200-unit 35th-anniversary edition with a gold record.

ADescription

February 2008, Japan only, in black (MK6-K) and silver (MK6-S). Refinements only: tighter tonearm-mount tolerances, OFC wiring, better damping, higher-grade LEDs, improved pitch accuracy. The 35th-anniversary MK6K1 (1,200 units, December 2007) shipped with a gold record. Two years later the line was dead.

Changes from predecessor, vs MK5/M5G: incremental quality refinements; no new features.
