Integrated into the exclusive Reference Series, the Sumiko Starling is an exquisite moving coil (MC) capsule that uses an open architecture design to become the new absolute reference of the Japanese firm. Among its most relevant features is the use of a MicroRidge stylus mounted on a boron cantilever in a low-output, low-mass configuration, allowing it to exhibit strength and dynamics at the highest level with a highly refined coherent sound presentation. Additionally, the Starling uses a high-quality aluminum body with precision machining and optimized resonance control, allowing it to offer exceptional tonal neutrality and harmonic richness with a wide repertoire of tonearms and turntables.
