Sumiko Blue Point No.3 High

High output moving coil phono cartridge

Far be it for Sumiko to modify a design that’s proven so practical and pleasing to such a wide variety of listeners, but as Sumiko has pushed forward in recent years with their exploration of resonance optimization, it was a matter of time before their classic Blue Point No. 2 was re-evaluated.

 

Blue Point No. 2 – among the world’s first high-output MC cartridges – across decades has become something of a staple among listeners looking for a taste of moving coil sonics without the added expense of MC pre-amplification. Sumiko has long loved this cartridge and it will remain dear to them among their heritage lineup, but indeed they’ve got another ‘Point’ to make…

 

Along with the release of their Reference Celebration 40, Sumiko brings you Blue Point No. 3 – another nod to their 40 years of cartridge development in the pursuit to enrich your listening experience. Sumiko has taken a close look & listen at the resonance properties of Blue Point No. 2 and have recognized room for refinement. Resonance having a more significant impact than many listeners may realize, they sought to reimagine how the housing resonates around the generator… and they feel they’ve struck gold.
