Sumiko Wellfleet

The Sumiko Wellfleet is the newest member of the handcrafted Sumiko Oyster series. It is next to the top of the line Sumiko Amethyst and has the same generators for the best sound performance.

The stylus of the Sumiko Wellfleet is a nude elliptical diamond on aluminium cantilever and Sumiko has applied and upgraded its award-winning design of the Moonstone cartridge, retuning the suspension for optimal performance of a nude elliptical diamond with the existing generator and resonance-optimized housing found in the rest of the Oyster series.

To improve the sound Sumiko has made a new assembly, and cut away excessive mass in the shank to further reduce tip mass, resulting in a faster, more direct, and more accurate response of the stylus’ movement by the cantilever and magnet. 

The sound of Sumiko Wellfleet has immediate, clear, and detailed vocals, the warmth of human vocal work becomes more apparent with hints of rasp and emphasized subtleties, boosted by tight and well controlled bass. Overall the listener is able to identify distinct instrumentation such together with the warmth in especially human voices.

Sumiko Wellfleets modern design has 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.
