Sumiko introduces the Oriole MC cartridge, expanding its Reference Series to bridge the gap between the Songbird and flagship Starling models.
Designed and manufactured in Japan, the Oriole is a low-output moving-coil cartridge emphasizing musical coherence over analytical sharpness.
It features a nude Shibata-cut diamond stylus mounted on an aluminum cantilever for deep groove tracing and high-frequency detail retrieval.
