An Entry-Level Model That Also Makes for a Great Substitute for Stock Cartridges: Sumiko Rainier Moving-Magnet Phono Cartridge Delivers Smooth, Natural Sound and Allows for Easy Upgradability
Sumiko's venerable Rainier moving-magnet phono cartridge continues the manufacturer's legacy for smooth, natural sound reproduction. The result of years of development, an all-new integrated body and generator system significantly reduces internal resonances. Rainier also allows you to change it over to an Olympia or Moonstone stylus for upgrades without any need to replace the entire cartridge. An ideal substitute for old cartridges or stock types. You'll hear the difference!
