Sumiko Black Pearl with Nude Microridge Line Contact Stylus &  Boron Cantilever Moving Magnet MM

I got excitement, depth, moving magnet weight and balance - very listenable - I just had to play some favourites again. The Pearl may be a budget cartridgeThe sound quality is full and refined, with weighty extended bass, sweet treble, and rich midrange.TNT review 

MR Microridge The tip of the is carefully chosen from single-crystal natural diamonds. The laser-cut diamond closely resembles that of the cutting stylus used on a Cutting lathe to produce the acetate master disks used in vinyl production. This allows the MR tip to reach into the deepest recesses of the record groove in order to retrieve details which were previously inaccessible to other stylus profiles. Due to its wide contact area with the groove wall, the MR can reproduce a more expansive bandwidth of information with higher fidelity.

MicroRidge stylus has a minuscule curve radius that will not be altered by abrasion. It is capable of playing signals back precisely, so high frequency sound and wide dynamic range can be played without distortion. It’s a top-of-the-line stylus with high performance, long life and high fidelity sound reproduction.

BORON Cantilever
is one of the most suitable materials for cantilevers. its density is low, Young’s modulus is large, and the speed of sound propagation is approximately 2.6 times faster than that of aluminum. Due to the characteristics above, boron cantilever can more precisely trace the information contained in the record grooves than aluminum cantilever.

The Sumiko Pearl is an excellent l moving magnet (MM) cartridge , the Pearl is a 'giant killing' cartridge, offering performance beyond its price point. An ideal choice if you're budget 

'The Sumiko Pearl is just liquid in its presentation, not calling attention to itself. Just has a way of extracting the information from the LP in a seamless, musical way that far belies its price point'
