hi,after the 50 hr burnin on a new rega rp3,if conclude sumiko has another winner on their hands.imaging is probably it's most outstanding feature,almost holographic.bottom end is solid, not muddy.i'm finding myself thumbing through my collection more often now,hats off to sumiko for a great cartridge!

This is a must for the price, a little bit to bright, but with a great overall sound stage, I have this on a Pro-ject RM 1.3 and through a Mcintosh and four Bose 901's this cartridge gives what it takes to make me happy, specially when it come to loud and true.

A beautiful cartridge for classical - no idea what it is like for other music. I am now on my second, and when it is worn out will buy a third without hesitation - provided my pension keeps coming in. It has richness without unwanted colour, enough bass, and huge musicality. Only the exposed sensors make me nervous when installing it, but a glass of cabernet steadies the nerves. Well, all right, gamay if there's no cabernet handy. Currently used in a Linn Basik arm (prehistoric) on a Gyrodeck SE, but soon to be transplanted to a Tecno. Can't wait. Although at my age you have to.
