Sumiko Olympia MM (Moving-Magnet) Cartridge, Brand New

Part of the new Oyster series just released by Sumiko. Made in Japan.

More details from Sumiko:

The Olympia brings another level of acoustic refinement to the mix with an upgraded stylus and cantilever assembly, allowing for more dynamic punch and improved frequency response during playback. Due to its improved tracking capabilities, the Olympia is an excellent return on investment when upgrading from the Rainier cartridge, and can even be upgraded to the capable Moonstone stylus further on down the line.

From a review by Audio Video SA:

"Moving on to the Olympia, the differences were immediately apparent. While the Rainier presented the music in broad, bold and engaging swathes of sound, the Olympia offered greater insight, closer attention to detail and a tonal signature that provided all the warmth, but added more icing and detail to the higher frequencies. The result was a sound that was still smooth and accessible, but also cleaner and more attentive."
