About this product
Oriole maintains the tonally balanced refined & fatigueless character for which Sumiko is globally regarded.

The stylus and generator deliver impeccable detail retrieval emotionally captivating dynamics speedy attack and sweet resolution. Deeply musical and endlessly listenable Oriole is alluring in its wholly analog-sounding character. It portrays musical material in natural balance with its surrounding ambience and with life-like nuance. Silent in the groove music blossoms from a jet-black background and invites you into the most intimate spaces of a keenly-rendered soundstage.FeaturesMoving-Coil DesignLow-Mass StylusHigh-Quality CantileverWide Frequency ResponseSuperior Channel SeparationHand-Crafted PrecisionReference Series Open-Body MCsOur Reference Series open-architecture cartridges minimize the potential for coloration and distortion due to energy buildup that is sometimes propagated by the conventional cartridge body. Internal resonance is damped within the generator while remaining resonance travels up through the bonded mounting plate & headblock then down the tonearm where it is dissipated harmlessly. The PEEK generator mounting plate provides the utmost stability and energy transfer while the stiff alloy headblock is the conduit through which that energy exits the cartridge. The generator itself minimizes distortion and losses through the implementation of pure metals and intelligent orientation of the same. The performance of this sophisticated generator is bolstered by our multi-faceted approach to resonance control precipitating to clean musical and highly listenable sonics.Trad
