Sumiko - Amethyst
Sumiko - Amethyst
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge
Featuring an improved low-impedance, low-noise generator, Amethyst renders stark black backgrounds from which music simply blossoms. To do justice to the improved generator, we add a low-mass nude line-contact stylus to an ultra-stiff, low-mass hollow cantilever. The overall reduction in moving mass propels the highest level of stylus fidelity, faithfully conveying its motion to the fixed coil assembly. Thusly Amethyst transcribes vivid detail, wowing dynamics and exceptional spacial imaging in an inviting, articulate soundstage. Music flows effortlessly with compelling depth, immersing you in the richness we all love about analog sound.
- Stylus: Nude Line-Contact
- Frequency Response: 12Hz - 33kHz
- Output Voltage: 2.5mV (at 1kHz)
- Tracking Force: 1.8g - 2.2g (2.0g recommended)
- Cartridge Weight: 6.5g
- Load Impedance: 47kΩ
- Performance: Designed to be an "endgame" MM cartridge, offering exceptional detail and a dark background (low noise).
- Sound Signature: Often described as warm, with a smooth midrange, significant bass weight/drive, and a silky high-frequency response.
- Versatility: Compatible with most MM phono stages and suitable for various musical genres due to its punchy, dynamic nature.
- Stylus Assembly: Features a replaceable stylus, a major advantage over most MC cartridges.
