Sumiko Olympia

In a marketplace full of mass-production, planned obsolescence, and endless hype, Sumiko Phono Cartridges provides an oasis of artistry and accessibility for every music lover and analog enthusiast. For over 40 years, Sumiko has provided the industry with some of the finest tools in analog reproduction.

 

Using an approach that views the phono cartridge as a musical instrument, Sumiko’s engineers have paid fastidious attention to every aspect of cartridge design to summon extraordinary performance out of every component and bring a characteristic, natural sound that best serves music reproduction. The all-new integrated generator design of our new Oyster moving magnet cartridges allows for a seamless transfer of mechanical energy from the stylus to an accurate electrical reproduction of the original audio signal. The open-body architecture of our mid-range moving coil offerings provides a transparency that allows an equal versatility playing classical, jazz, or modern rock and hip hop recordings. Our Reference line takes the musicality concept to the highest level, with a presentation that evokes as much emotion as it does excitement.

 

Across all levels of cost and performance, selecting a Sumiko cartridge to enhance your analog setup will ensure that you are gaining the most out of your investment in Fine Analog Sound.
