Returns Simplified.Introducing the Sumiko Songbird High-Output Moving Coil (MC) Phono Cartridge, now available at RockOnAV. This cartridge is meticulously designed to deliver exceptional audio fidelity, making it an excellent choice for audiophiles seeking to enhance their vinyl listening experience.
Particularly adept with vocals & acoustic instruments, weve created Songbird to make genuine moving coil imaging available to any listener. It delivers the sweetest highs over a robust, rich yet clear low-midrange. Like its big sibling Starling, Songbird suspends sonic images in a highly controlled manner. As opposed to music being flung from your speakers, youre placed among the naturally-positioned instruments in the soundstage, close in proximity to the intimate nuances of the musical material. If youve got an MM phono section, theres a good chance Songbird High is the cartridge youve been dreaming about.
Clear and ultra-musical with just the right degree of warmth, Songbird Low offers an even deeper soundstage with greater reach width-wise. As its generally more quiet thus allowing more detail to surface, youll be shocked by the surprises it yields even in the recordings youre most familiar with. Stunningly holographic in a manner that approaches that of Starling, Songbird Low maximizes the refinement of your MC system at a price thats well below reasonable considering the performance it achieves.
We are immeasurably excited about these recent additions to our Reference open-body MC lineup. Our latest darlings Songbird & Starling are a heavy refinement on our tried & true Blackbird & BPS EVO III designs. Securely anchored to a highly rigid, resonance-optimized headblock, our new generator is free to work its magic with the utmost control, free of unwanted internal resonance. The generator assembly is flexible and sturdy, offering the highest fidelity possible in a perfect balance of clarity and romance. The result is industry-leading, holographic imaging with irresistibly true sweetness. Each delivers a degree of honesty & refinement that we couldnt be more proud of, nor more excited for you to hear for yourself.
As user-replaceable styli are not on an option for moving coil phono cartridges, remember that any of our MCs, functional or otherwise, can be returned to your dealer in a re-tip exchange a discount on a new cartridge of equal or greater value sparing you expense when your stylus heads south! Heres how it works The cartridge you own is worth 30% its retail value in trade. As an example, if you have a cartridge with a retail value of $1000, its worth $300 in trade toward your new cartridge. All trade-ins must be done through an authorized dealer. Note: our trade program is valid within the United States only.
