Sumiko Wellfleet Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Sumiko Wellfleet is an MM cartridge tailored to the needs of the vinyl lovers, which, above all, means having a piece of equipment that allows simple operation and excellent audio quality.

Sumiko Wellfleet Moving Magnet Cartridge

The Sumiko Wellfleet Moving Magnet Cartridge features a tuned suspension system for optimal performance, utilising a nude elliptical diamond, while still using the existing generator and resonance-optimised housing found in the rest of the premium moving magnet series.

Wellfleet MM

Wellfleet utilises a highly polished nude elliptical stylus, eliminating the bonding between the stylus tip and shank. With the new assembly, excess mass in the shank is removed, further reducing the tip mass. Resulting in a faster, more direct, and more accurate response to the stylus’ movement by the cantilever and magnet.

Sonically, this increases speed and focuses central images, drawing them closer to the listener with a heightened sense of detail. With the Wellfleet Moving Magnet, vocals are immediate, clear, and detailed, and the warmth of human vocal work becomes more apparent with hints of rasp and emphasised subtleties, boosted by tight and well-controlled bass.

Backing vocals become easier to discern, and the listener can identify distinct instrumentation. Such as the rattle of snare wires or the woody twang of vintage acoustic guitars. Listeners will hear an improvement in surface noise and sense a more distant background, facilitating a deeper, more suspended image.

Latest Generation Oysters

Designed for discerning, value-minded vinyl lovers, Sumiko’s latest generation of premium moving magnet Oysters builds upon, enhances, and refines the sonic character that listeners worldwide have enjoyed for decades. The cartridge body design of the Sumiko Wellfleet 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.

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 Wellfleet Moving Magnet.

A Sound Investment

A great example is the Wellfleet, an excellent way to lift your heart and speakers to the next stage. It offers clean and clear high frequencies, balanced and agile mids, and a bottom end that propels every journey you take.

Made for the Long Haul

The sturdy shell of the Wellfleet makes it a cartridge that will accompany you for a long time. The clip will help keep every detail of the sound, ensuring your turntable is not a regrettable purchase.
