The Sumiko Pearl Phono Cartridge has earned decades of recognition for its natural tonal balance, musical refinement and reliable precision. Sitting proudly at the top of the classic Oyster range, the Pearl delivers a sound that far exceeds expectations.

At its core lies a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus designed to extract greater detail, widen stereo imaging and enhance overall articulation.

This combination makes it an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking purity and musical engagement without exceeding their budget.
Hand-crafted in Yokohama, Japan, the Pearl embodies the long-standing values of the Oyster Series: meticulous tuning, durable materials and a sound that faithfully reflects the groove. It is a cartridge built to inspire, offering a rich analogue experience that continues to impress year after year.
