Sumiko Oyster Series Olympia Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge

More Dynamic Punch and Improved Frequency Response

Utilizing a better stylus and cantilever, Sumiko's Olympia moving magnet phono cartridge improves on the Rainier in every aspect. More dynamic punch and improved frequency response makes this an excellent choice for Rainier owners looking for an upgrade.

Sumiko's Upgradeable Oyster Series

Olympia is one of four new additions to the acclaimed Oyster series, which comprises Sumiko's most ambitious Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge release to date. The Rainier, Olympia, and Moonstone all utilize a common housing and generator assembly, so the stylus assemblies are interchangeable. You can purchase the Rainier and upgrade to the Olympia or Moonstone without replacing the entire cartridge. The Oyster series sets a new performance standard for the audiophile on a budget.
