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.

Key Specifications & Features:
  • 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

Key Characteristics:
