The Kiseki Purple Heart N.S. is a true beauty in every sense. Physically, it is made of rare Purpleheart wood, which turns from brown to golden purple in direct or indirect sunlight. It sports a boron cantilever the size of a human hair, and a diamond so small that my 66-year-old eyes cannot see it, even with a magnifying glass. Though 30mm long, it weighs only 7 grams. Its edges are all right angles which make for easy setup. In addition, its strong .48mV output is a chip shot for all MC step-up devices that exist in the world. ” Robert H. Levi Positive Feedback”
