Enhanced Design for Superior Sound
Building upon the foundation of the Rainier model, the Olympia features an upgraded aluminum pipe cantilever assembly that reduces moving mass. This enhancement allows for more precise groove tracing, resulting in extended nuance and an expanded frequency response. Additionally, a slight decrease in output reduces noise, improving imaging and delivering a realism that's uncommon in this class of cartridge.
Interchangeable Styli for Customizable Performance
The Olympia is part of Sumiko's latest range of MM cartridges, which includes the Rainier, Moonstone, Wellfleet, and Amethyst models. All styli in this series are physically interchangeable, allowing users to tailor the sonic characteristics to their preferences. This modularity provides an affordable upgrade path, enabling audiophiles to enhance their listening experience without replacing the entire cartridge.
Handcrafted Precision from Japan
Each Sumiko phono cartridge is meticulously crafted by hand in Yokohama, Japan, near the waters where their namesake oysters dwell. The company selects the finest materials by ear to deliver performance that has enlightened generations of listeners. Every design undergoes thorough auditioning until perfected, ensuring precision and quality in every unit.
