Upgrade Options for Sumiko MM Cartridges
This stylus allows for a straightforward sound improvement for your Sumiko Rainier cartridge, with no need for realignment after replacement. Upgrading to a higher model in the Sumiko series, such as the Olympia, Moonstone, or Amethyst, offers a noticeable audio enhancement. This improvement is achieved through finer diamond tips and lighter cantilevers, resulting in more precise tracking and a more detailed soundstage.
Upgrade Levels of the Sumiko Stylus Series:
- Rainier: Elliptical stylus (r/R 8 x 18 µm)
- Olympia: Better-selected elliptical diamond (r/R 8 x 18 µm)
- Moonstone: Lighter aluminum cantilever, elliptical diamond (r/R 8 x 18 µm)
