The Sumiko Blue Point No. 3 High Output Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge is a revered performer designed to deliver the nuanced detail of MC technology with the convenience of MM phono stage compatibility. Building on a legendary lineage, this cartridge features a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical diamond stylus on an aluminum cantilever, hand-crafted in Japan for precision.

Boasting a healthy 2.5 mV output (compatible with 47 kΩ MM phono inputs) and a wide 13 Hz – 35 kHz frequency response, the Blue Point No. 3 excels at transparency and musicality. Its sonic signature is characterized by a “buttery” and defined bass, a lush and decipherable midrange, and sweet, airy highs. The redesigned body with threaded inserts enhances resonance control and simplifies mounting. Offering an expansive soundstage, precise imaging, and engaging dynamics, the Blue Point No. 3 High Output is an exceptional upgrade for audiophiles seeking true MC performance without investing in additional MC amplification, providing a rich, refined, and captivating vinyl listening experience.
