About the Moonstone
The Sumiko Moonstone is a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge designed for audiophiles seeking high-quality vinyl playback without the complexity or cost of moving coil systems. It features a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical diamond stylus for precise tracking and minimal record wear, a 0.5mm aluminum cantilever for rigidity and accurate signal transfer, and high-purity copper coils for low noise and high output. The Moonstone is praised for its balanced, dynamic sound, outperforming many comparably priced moving coil cartridges while requiring only standard MM preamplification. Its robust construction and efficient design result in superior stereo separation and a wide frequency response of 12Hz to 33kHz.
