Sumiko Olympia MM pickup

The Sumiko Olympia MM cartridge builds on the proven performance of the Rainier and takes the listening experience to a new level. With an improved needle holder assembly that reduces moving mass, the Olympia provides smoother groove tracking and more subtle nuances in sound. The extended frequency range and slightly reduced output power result in an even quieter, more detailed sound image. These technical improvements lead to an exceptional representation and realistic sound, rarely found in this price range.

The Olympia is compatible with light and medium-weight tonearms and offers additional flexibility with the ability to upgrade the stylus to the Moonstone, Wellfleet, or Amethyst models. Additionally, the RS78 stylus can be used for playing shellac records.
