Sumiko Amethyst Moving Magnet Cartridge

£624.95

The Amethyst is the flagship of the series, and easily SUMIKO's most ambitious moving magnet cartridge to date.

Due to the level of fidelity on offer, the Amethyst also employs a mechnically enhanced body compared to the more affordable Rainier, Olympia and Moonstone models.
