Turntable Cartridges

SUMIKOs first offering in the new Oyster lineup is the venerable Rainier which continues the Pearls legacy of smooth natural sound reproduction. After years of development SUMIKO are proud to introduce an all-new integrated body and generator system that improves performance all around.

The Sumiko Oyster offers a level of refinement uncommon for a cartridge at this pricepoint and represents an excellent upgrade over the basic cartridge supplied with many turntables.

The Olympia brings another level of acoustic refinement to the mix with an upgraded stylus and cantilever assembly allowing for more dynamic punch and improved frequency response during playback.

The Moonstone is an affordable high-performance moving magnet cartridge that utilizes the powerful mechanically-generated electromotive forces of the moving magnet to help give your playback extra punch and convincing realism.

The Sumiko Pearl is a moving magnet phono cartridge that features an alloy cantilever with a bonded elliptical stylus and 4.0mV output.

The Black Pearl incorporates a tried and reliable cartridge body with an improved cantilever and the same spherical stylus as the Oyster. This combination gives an overall richer output including greater channel separation and a wider frequency response that pushes the listening experience to the next level.
