Other Notes: 

"The Sumiko Starling is a reference-level, low-output moving coil cartridge designed for listeners who crave neutrality, depth, and refinement. Often described as a darker, more polished evolution of the Songbird, it delivers whisper-quiet backgrounds, nanodetailed resolution, and impressively realistic bass. Expect a deep, holographic soundstage with exceptional focus and agility, especially on well-cut 45 RPM pressings.

Handcrafted in Japan, the open-body design allows for easy alignment, while a boron cantilever and Micro-Ridge stylus ensure superb tracking and groove control. Its rigid, damped aluminum assembly enhances clarity and dynamic contrast. With proper loading and a quality MC phono stage, the Starling offers poise, polish, and long-term musical satisfaction."
