Next-Gen Moving Magnet Phono Pickup
Borrowing from and refining on the resonance-optimized housing of our latest Oyster cartridges (Moonstone, Olympia & Rainier), Sumiko further reduce output to curtail extraneous noise. Topped off with a nude line-contact diamond, the stylus couldn’t be more nimble. Reaching every nook & cranny of your record grooves and handling that information with the utmost grace, Amethyst competes favorably with similarly priced MC designs. It’s shockingly quiet and thus transparent as can be, skillfully tracing even the most complicated passages your LP collection has to offer. Expect effortless dynamic handling, depth and clarity over a black background, impeccably realistic transience and images that leap from your soundstage but remain naturally positioned.

Due to the rotational inertia of pivoted tonearms, the friction of the stylus on the record groove produces a force that pulls the stylus toward the center of the record. Anti-Skate (or mechanical bias) is added to compensate for this force in order to equalize the stylus tracking on the sides of the groove walls. Because this is a dynamic force, do not attempt adjustment using a blank or grooveless record as this will result in over compensation. When using a Sumiko Amethyst™ moving magnet cartridge, a value equal to the tracking force should be applied as anti-skate. Two grams tracking force = Two grams of anti-skate.
Optimum performance can only be achieved by maintaining a clean stylus and record surface. If your records are kept very clean, the brush supplied with your cartridge will suffice to remove accumulated dust if it is used after each play. Be sure to either turn the volume down or select a different input prior to doing this. Only use a back to front motion when contacting the stylus during cleaning. To remove compacted debris, we recommend LAST cleaning products as the best and safest stylus cleaner available.
