Description

By combining a reduced moving mass and output with a tested elliptical diamond profile, the Sumiko Moonstone Moving Magnet Cartridge transcribes sonic imagery with weight, richness, depth, and sparkle. The texture is keenly realistic. The Moonstone suspends and controls the sonic image over a nearly absentย noise floor, providing fantastic clarity.

  • Stunningly clear sound, with almost no perceptible noise
  • Tipped Elliptical diamond stylus profile
  • Overhead mounting cartridge for installing into a headshell
  • Moving magnet cartridge with removable stylus
  • Low-resonance body and generator system

Moonstone MM

The Moonstone features a finely polished elliptical stylus for accurate information retrieval from the record groove. Mounted on to a bespoke cantilever and utilising a smaller magnet than its more affordable siblings, the Moonstone still uses the same integrated body and generator system as its kin, which is designed to significantly reduce internal resonances.

The end result is a still affordable high-performance moving magnet cartridge that gives the punch and convincing realism of a good moving magnet design, but with a well-balanced, dimensionally dense and breathtakingly dynamic sonic spectrum that’s more relatable to a moving coil type.

Latest Generation Oysters

Designed for discerning, value-minded vinyl lovers, Sumiko’s latest generation premium moving magnet Oysters build upon, enhance and refine the sonic character that listeners worldwide have enjoyed for decades. The cartridge body design of the Sumiko Moonstone addresses the problem of resonance by dispersing and dissipating it away from the generator system resulting in a sound quality, reminiscent of moving coil designs.

Made 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. Theyโ€™ve selected by ear the finest materials that combine to deliver a performance that has enlightened generations of listeners.

Sumiko thoroughly auditions each design until it is perfect. Production is then executed by world-class Cartridge makers with a collective eye for precision and quality when making the Moonstone Moving Magnet.
