A masterful demonstration of what an absolute reference pickup cartridge means, the Palo Santos Presentation takes advantage of Sumiko 's three decades of experience in the design and manufacture of pickup cartridges with a fabulous quality/price ratio to give an additional twist to the already exceptional Pearwood Celebration II. The introduction of cutting-edge materials and techniques has made it possible to improve rigidity and reduce the resonance of the moving assembly and background noise, which, combined with the use of a Palo Santos (Brazilian Rose) body, has made it possible to improve both resolution as the spatial presentation of sound.
