{"product_id":"sumiko-rainier-mm-cartridge","title":"Sumiko - Rainier MM Cartridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eRainier introduces our latest range of Oysters, which raise the bar for what can be expected from reasonably-priced MM cartridges. Our resonance-optimized housing channels extraneous resonance away from the generator, ascertaining a well-represented soundstage with fantastic clarity and a natural hint of warmth. Impressively quiet while delivering impact, Rainier skillfully places instruments \u0026amp; vocals right where they belong. You can expect a broader, rounder soundstage than you previously thought attainable at this price. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Latest Oysters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for discerning, value-minded audiophiles, Rainier, Olympia \u0026amp; Moonstone supplement \u0026amp; complement our existing range of Oysters. They build upon, enhance \u0026amp; refine the sonic character that listeners worldwide have enjoyed for decades. New innovation in cartridge design addresses the problem of resonance — the things that need to happen around a generator to voice a cartridge with honesty. The housing thusly disperses \u0026amp; dissipates resonance, making way for effortless, transparent sonics that are enlivened with intimate nuance. The voicing is true to natural harmonics, space around voices \u0026amp; instruments as well as their attack \u0026amp; decay. Unique to these 3 Oysters (not to mention Amethyst), experience a diminutive backdrop that bolsters sonic images with a degree of aptitude reminiscent of moving coil designs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUpgrade Path\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainier, Olympia \u0026amp; Moonstone replacement styli are interchangeable.
