Sumiko Olympia MM Cartridge

Sumiko Olympia is part of the new modern series from the 40 year old Japanese cartridge company comprising the following models: Rainier, Olympia, Moonstone and Amethyst. All pickups are handmade by highly qualified cartridge makers. 

Sumiko Olympia has a modern design with threaded inserts in the cartridge body, which enable the cartridge to be mounted to the headshell with just two screws – no nuts or washers are required.

Sumiko Olympia comes with an elliptical stylus on aluminium cantilever with an even smaller magnet for a sonic performance that delivers the nuances of a moving coil with the punch of a moving magnet. With the Sumiko Olympia you will experience a warm sound with a detailed treble and good dynamics. 

To get the full benefit of this fine Sumiko cartridge it is essential to mount it properly in terms of overhang, azimuth and horizontal alignment.  The finer the stylus the more important the correct setup gets. DaCapo Audio recommends using a good protractor for proper adjustment to get the best out of your cartridge. Please see the options on our website.
