Cartridges

The Songbird was created to take the iconic Blue Point Special and enhance the design for a step up in both construction and fidelity, taking a great leap toward true high-end audio.

The Starling is the flagship open architecture cartridge from SUMIKO, exhibiting true high-end sound from a meticulously engineered device. 

The Palo Santos Presentation is a flagship in every sense. Through its luxurious Brazilian Rosewood body it exudes classic style and delivers a truly exceptional sonic performance that marks Sumiko as a worthy player in the high-end arena.

Shelter’s flagship model, the Harmony, employs dry carbon fiber (CFRP) for the body shell. CFRP delivers a superb acoustic characteristic and is an ideal match with the newly designed motor assembly. This combination is capable of delivering a great musical reproduction even on records with less than optimal recordings.

The 901III uses hard aluminum cantilever with line-contact diamond stylus chip same structure with Harmony. Unlike models 7000 and 9000, which pursue more information or detail of sound, 901III provides comfort of analog playback sound from the moment when the stylus chip falls into the groove.

The Model 501 III is latest development of 501 series. Through continued refinement the 501 III is equally responsive with the most recent recordings or any of your most cherished albums. The 501 III has the combination of aluminum clad boron cantilever and elliptical diamond stylus tip. The expressiveness, power and energy fare superbly balanced to highest level.

The 301 II has an aluminum cantilever and conical stylus tip. The stylus tip is a moderate size of 0.65mil. It is a great choice for traditional analog reproductions as well as with legacy albums of your favorite performers.

The Model 201 is MM (moving magnet) cartridge. Designed for affordability, the weight and output are matched for a wide selection of tone arms and tables. Unlike many MM cartridges, there is no “peak” so it is a pleasing and robust performer.

With a total weight of only seven grams, a Micro HD stylus, rigid boron cantilever and 90-decibel dynamic range, the MC da Vinci V2 provides all that is required to open up new horizons of sound dynamics and tonal homogeneity.
