Sumile MC cartridge

Just arrived is the stunning Sumile MC cartridge from Murasakino Ltd. “Sumile” means “violet” in Japanese, taken from the cartridge’s housing color. Sumile is not lavished  with superfluous technologies or rare materials. Instead, through our commitment to fundamental quality, it is the ultimate analog product. As a low-impedance MC cartridge, Sumile’s impedance is only 1.2?. Producing a low-impedance cartridge is fairly simple because the impedance is kept low by reducing the number of turns in the coil. However, fewer coil turns also reduce output voltage, which has to be compensated for by larger amplification. In addition, noise problems are more likely to occur. But Sumile solves these problems by maintaining low impedance while ensuring sufficient output voltage. The cartridge’s base to which the power-generation system, including the coil, is attached is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is renowned for its stable sound quality and has been incorporated into products such
