Sumiko Blue Point No. 3 Moving Coil Cartridge

Recently, Sumiko made the decision to explore the resonance optimisation of the Blue Point No. 2 as they recognised there was room for refinement for this well-established cartridge. Resonance has a more significant impact than many listeners realise and Sumiko wanted to reimagine how the housing resonates around the generator in the Blue Point range. This resulted in the arrival of the new Blue Point No. 3. Key Features: High Output Moving Coil cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 micron Elliptical stylus Sound refinement of an MC with the output voltage of a typical MM design  Low-resonance body that's easy to install to any common tonearm Overhead mounting design High output for easy matching to a phono stage Easy to set-up and install

The Blackbird is the result of Sumiko's quarter century of service to analogue devotees; music lovers who value the expressiveness and emotional authenticity available only from analogue records. It builds upon the strengths of, and lessons learned from The Blue Point Special, no aspect of the cartridge's design was left to chance.   By offering a low-output version of the Blackbird at 0.7 mV, Sumiko have taken advantage of a low-mass cantilever assembly to provide even faster response time and superior dynamics. With the right preamplification, the low-output Blackbird takes all of the performance features of the standard version and pushes them to the next level with the improved tracking that lightweight coils afford.   With the level of performance and clarity of many cartridges twice its price, the Blackbird was designed for exceedingly low noise levels, exceptionally wide dynamic range, and the highest possible fidelity in its price class. The Blackbird has already become a veritable analogue classic and is sure to delight many more discerning ears for years to come.   Key Features: Moving coil cartridge with low mass elliptical stylus with long-grain boron cantilever Wide dynamic range Carefully crafted by hand Low mechanical impedance system Standard 0.5” hole spacing mounting system Available in two output versions, to suit any listening system
