Introducing the Moonstone

High Output MM Cartridge from Sumiko

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

Exceptionally well-balanced and dimensionally dense, the breathtaking dynamics of the Moonstone outperform many comparably priced moving coil cartridges without requiring the huge investment in preampfification.

Sumiko's Oyster MM Cartridges

the Oyster Series cartridges have established themselves as smooth, warm and refined alternatives to more aggressive-sounding options. They are meticulously crafted with premium materials, enabling highly musical, poised and polished sonics that steer clear of listening fatigue.

An integrated body and generator system stifles internal resonance and readily transfers uncontrolled energy from the cartridge to the tonearm where it is dissipated harmlessly. This reduces distortion and coloration, leaving you with pure analog fidelity that conveys the emotional message embedded in your music.

HAND CRAFTED IN JAPAN

From Oyster to Reference, each Sumiko phono cartridge is crafted by hand in Yokohama, Japan — near the waters where their namesake Oysters dwell.

In the tradition of the finest craftspeople in Japan, Sumiko's engineers have selected by ear, the finest materials that combine to deliver performance that has enlightened generations of listeners.

Each design is meticulously auditioned until perfected. Production is then executed by world-class cartridge makers with a collective eye for precision and quality. The result is a full horizon of cartridges of exceptional quality.
