By further reducing the moving mass and the output, as well as our proven elliptical diamond, the Moonstone transmits the sound images with power, fullness, depth and shine. The texture is extremely realistic. The sound image is floating and well-controlled over an almost non-existent noise floor, offering fantastic clarity without noise and blur. Compatible with MM preamps and most tonearms on the market, the Moonstone is a must-have for audiophiles on a budget.Handmade in JapanFrom Oyster to Reference, every Sumiko pickup is handcrafted in Yokohama, Japan - near the waters where the eponymous oysters live. Sumiko selects the finest materials by ear, which together produce a performance that has enlightened generations of listeners. Each design is thoroughly tested until perfect. Production is then carried out by world-class master craftsmen with a shared eye for precision and quality. Suitable for light and medium-heavy tonearms. Upgrade with a Stylus Wellfleet or Amethyst. Can be used with a Stylus RS78 to play shellac records.Technical specifications:Output voltage: 3mVAmplifier connection/termination: Phono MM/47kOWeight: 6.5gDynamic needle compliance, lateral: 12µm*Scanning Diamond: Elliptical (r/R 8 x 18µm).Tracking force: 2g * Needle compliance measured at 100HzAbout SumikoSumiko is a Japanese girl's name that means "kindness child" or "beautiful child".From the Oyster models to the Reference series, Sumiko handcrafts every cartridge in the Land of Smiles. Very close to the waters where the eponymous oysters have lived and have been for a good 40 years. The model lines: Oyster and ReferenceThe Oyster series includes the MM pickups Oyster, Black Pearl, Pearl, Rainier, OLYMPIA , Moonstone, Wellfleet and Amethyst as well as the MC Blue Point No. 3, which is available as a high and low output MC. The Reference Cartridge series includes four MC models: Songbird, Starling, Celebration 40 and Palo Santos Presentation. The Songbird is also available as a high and low output MC variant. Songbird and Starling have an open structure, i.e. they do not have a housing. The Celebration 40 and Palo Santos Presentation generators are installed in wooden housings that are open at the bottom. All Sumiko pickups have a needle guard. This is very important, especially with caseless pickups. In addition, Sumiko knows that the eye also listens and delivers its pickups in very high-quality packaging.MM pickup upgradeYou can upgrade your Sumiko MM cartridge by simply swapping out the cantilever. Important: all upgradeable pickups are operated with the same tracking force - no adjustment work is necessary after an upgrade of the needle insert. Since the Black Pearl and Pearl are identical except for the stylus, a Pearl stylus upgrades the Black Pearl to a Pearl. The generators also differ in the Rainier to Amethyst models. You can read details about the differences in this very nice report by Bernhard Rietschel from LowBeats magazine.The advantages of the higher-quality stylus insert: Lighter stylus carriers, a bare built-in diamond or a diamond with a better cut or a better polish of the diamond - against or with the structure of the diamond crystal lattice - improve the sound quality considerably.
