Sumiko Oriole MC Phono Cartridge

The Sumiko Oriole is a refined moving-coil phono cartridge that blends exceptional musicality with high-resolution detail. Positioned between the Songbird and Starling, Oriole features a nude Shibata line-contact stylus and a high-efficiency, low-impedance generator to deliver fast transients, rich dynamics, and a beautifully natural tonal balance. Silent in the groove and endlessly engaging, it presents music with lifelike nuance, deep soundstage realism, and a distinctly analog warmth — available at Soundium.
