More details from Sumiko:
"The Blue Point No. 2 has long set the performance standard for the savvy audiophile on a budget. The high-output moving coil design affords you the responsiveness of a low-mass cantilever without requiring a huge investment in the phono section of your system. Compatible with any moving-magnet phono preamp and virtually any tonearm you can throw at it, the Blue Point No. 2 is a flexible performer that has stood the test of time as a steal in value."
From "The Gruvy Awards Cartridges" via Analog Planet:
"One of the least expensive moving coils I know of. Its high output (2.5mV) means it's MM phono stage compatible but will give you a taste of what moving coil cartridges are all about. It features an elliptical stylus and tracks between 1.6 and 2.0 grams. Lots of detail, power and punch. Better for rock than for classical."
