Please note for Sumiko policy reasons we cannot supply these cartridges
outside the UK.
Sumiko moving coil cartridges offer an excellent combination
of performance usability and high end looks.
The Blue Point is excellent value high output moving coil that
is a good match for the Goldring equivalent and offers something
special at higher frequencies.
The Blue Point Special evo III at combines wonderfully high-end
open body looks; with a performance that is again a good match for
the Dynavector equivalent. Although not quite as neutral sounding
as the Dynavector; the Sumiko makes up for this by once again offering
a truly beguiling top end.
The higher Sumikos such as The Blackbird and Celebration moving
coil cartridges have excellent reviews and maintain the family
traits common to Sumikos
There are also a series of budget cartridges starting from as
little as £35 for the sumiko oyster
Review Extracts
"From House of Love to Sibelius, it proved an engaging performer.
Bass has pleasing authority and drive, and it passes the percussive
test with ease - snapping snares and solid kick drums are an instant
hit. At times it's a touch rough around the edges, and one or two
competitors offer better front-to-back perspectives and some buyers
may prefer a richer balance. But for me, this Sumiko's direct musical
statement makes it a Best Buy at the price. " BPS,

The evolution of the ever-popular Blue Point Special, the

ability to maintain a coherent consistency that reproduces
music as a perceptual whole.
High-output moving coil design with 2.5-mV output. Chemically
coated aluminum cantilever with 0.3mm x 0.7mm elliptical stylus.
Ultra low-resonance open generator design. Resonance controlled
mounting system provides the lowest mechanical impedance.
Highly compatible with most modern tonearms.

sumiko blackbird
Designed for exceedingly low noise levels, wide dynamic range
and the highest possilbe fidelity in its price class, Blackbird
is destined to become an analog classic. Each cartridge is
assembled using time honored, labor intensive techniques,
hand calibrated and critically auditioned to meet the most
rigorous standards of consistancy. The main advantage of high
output moving coil cartridges is the elimination of any additional
gain stages, resulting in an overall reduction of the noise
floor. With 2.5mV directly driving a standard 47k Ohm RIAA
phono stage, the best possible signal to noise ratio is realized.
Nothing but music emerges from your most treasured recordings.
