## Description

desertcart.com: Sumiko - Moonstone MM Phono Cartridge : Musical Instruments

Review: Worth the money. - I bought the Moonstone to replace my ortofon 2m Red, not really replace to give me another choice. I don’t think I’ll be going to back to it for some time. The bass is detailed, the mids are clear and the highs aren’t shrill and ear piercing. The sound stage is much more open and the separation between instruments and vocals for right on point.
Review: Phenomenal Cartridge and Stylus OMG!! - I have several very nice Cartridges including the Sumiko Pearl which I didn't think I was going find another that sounded better without going into $1000.00. I took a gamble because of how happy I was with the Pearl and bought the Moonstone. OMG the sound this thing produces for $299.00 is unbelievable!! Tracks at exactly 2 grams. I have all the nifty tools to set all the other settings such as tracking angles anti skate -overhang etc,. and this baby sings like a bird. The highs are so crisp and clean it's hard to believe it's coming off vinyl. The mids are perfect and the bass is non -boomy just very tight and the overall frequency ranges are so life like you could actually say this thing was 3 times the price. Wow/Flutter is almost non resistant even on mildly warped LP's. The sound goes beyond Blu-ray audio when this is set right - trust me you will be pleased. I'm tracking it on a completely restored 1978 Lab-400 Turntable with an upgraded Entre' headshell with upgraded Audiocraft $150 leads $250 gold and silver cables with custom suspension under a custom solid Tiger Wood plinth with new DC Servo Direct Drive custom 24 pole motor. Sumiko has me sold for my future upgrades and replacements. All in all a kick-ass cartridge/stylus at $299.00 - I rate it an A+++++ Five Star *****!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit on the at-lh11h universal ½"-mount headshell?**
A: It is a standard mount (vs P mount)

**Q: How does this compare to ortofon bronze?**
A: I do not have a Bronze, but I do have a Blue. I would say the Moonstone is very musical, but the detail is inferior to the Ortofon. However,  the Ortofon can be bright, depending on your other components. I have never had the  Moonstone sound harsh, but, I am a detail guy... I'd probably try the Wellfleet if I was going  Sumiko. Hope that helps.

**Q: Will this cartridge fit my ar xa head shell?**
A: It should. All cartridges will fit all headshells.

**Q: Difference between Olympia?**
A: If I remember correctly the Moonstone was the top model in magnetic, so everything else would be coil and higher priced, or below the Moonstone in the lineup. I have been totally wowed by the Moonstone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic cartridge
*by A***Y on February 12, 2024*

This cart is wonderful. I will say it's a bit particular in terms of setup. But once you dial it in it's fantastic to listen to. Clear highs, present mids, and punchy clean bass. After a 20ish hour burn in I honestly wasn't happy with it in my uturn orbit, but after adjusting the VTF down to the lower limit of 1.8 grams it really opened up. Could not be happier with this after running an Ortofon 2m Blue, which is also a great cart. But this is just so much more musical and pulls you in to listen even more. It beckons you to sit and listen for hours.
