Sumiko Olympia High Output MM Cartridge

Meet Sumiko's Olympia

High Output MM Cartridge

The Olympia brings another level of acoustic refinement to the mix with an upgraded stylus and cantilever assembly, allowing for more dynamic punch and improved frequency response during playback.

Due to its improved tracking capabilities, the Olympia is an excellent return on investment when upgrading from the Rainier cartridge, and can even be upgraded to the capable Moonstone stylus further on down the line.

Sumiko's Oyster MM Cartridges

the Oyster Series cartridges have established themselves as smooth, warm and refined alternatives to more aggressive-sounding options. They are meticulously crafted with premium materials, enabling highly musical, poised and polished sonics that steer clear of listening fatigue.

An integrated body and generator system stifles internal resonance and readily transfers uncontrolled energy from the cartridge to the tonearm where it is dissipated harmlessly. This reduces distortion and coloration, leaving you with pure analog fidelity that conveys the emotional message embedded in your music.

Handmade in Japan

Each Sumiko phono cartridge is hand-assembled by the world-class cartridge makers at Excel Sound in Yokohama, Japan – a relationship Sumiko has proudly maintained for nearly forty years.

Using only the finest materials that combine to deliver performance that has enlightened generations of listeners, each design is thoroughly auditioned until it meets their stringent standards for sound.

Production is then executed by expert craftsmen with a collective eye for precision and quality. The result is a family of cartridges that render emotion through tonally balanced, refined and fatigueless analog.
