Sumiko - Moonstone Replacement Stylus - Red

Replacement Stylus for Rainier, Olympia, Moonstone and Wellfleet Stylii

The apex of our 3 new Oysters, Moonstone is dressed to impress. Further reducing moving-mass & output and topped off with our listen-tested 0.3 x 0.7mil elliptical diamond, Moonstone transcribes sonic imagery with weight, richness, depth & sparkle. Texture is keenly realistic. The sonic image is suspended and well-controlled over a nearly-absent noise floor, providing fantastic clarity without etch nor confusion. Compatible with MM preamps and the vast majority of tonearms out there, Moonstone is a must-have for audiophiles on a budget.

The Audio-Technica AT-VMx series elevates premium dual moving magnet cartridge performance with a richer, more realistic sound that brings vinyl to life. Its vertically aligned dual magnets mirror the original cutting head for outstanding channel separation, accurate tracking, and a wide, balanced frequency response. Advanced paratoroidal coil construction with high-purity copper wire and reduced coil turns enhances transient response while minimizing crosstalk for a clean, precise stereo image. An elliptical bonded stylus on an aluminum cantilever ensures detailed playback, while the low-resonance polymer body controls vibration. User-friendly touches like threaded mounting inserts, a V-cut stylus guard, and interchangeable styli make the VMx series an easy, versatile upgrade for refined analog listening.
