Princely musical enjoyment

The Rainier is the first of the new Oyster models and raises the bar for affordable MM cartridges quite a bit. The resonance-optimized housing channels disturbing vibrations away from the generator, thus ensuring a well-organized soundstage with high clarity and a natural touch of warmth. The Rainier is impressively quiet and skillfully places instruments and voices exactly where they belong. You will experience a more spacious, more complete soundstage than you previously thought possible at this price point.

Handmade in Japan

From Oyster to Reference, every Sumiko cartridge is handcrafted in Yokohama, Japan – near the waters where the namesake oysters live. Sumiko selects the finest materials by ear, which together deliver a performance that has enlightened generations of listeners. Each design is thoroughly tested until it is perfect. Production is then carried out by world-class craftsmen with a shared eye for precision and quality.

Suitable for light to medium-weight tonearms. Upgrade with an Olympia, Moonstone, Wellfleet, or Amethyst stylus. Can be used with an RS78 stylus for playing 78 rpm records.
