Replacement Stylus for Sumiko Wellfleet Phono Cartridge
Quickly and easily replace the worn-out stylus on your Sumiko Wellfleet phono cartridge and restore the performance of your Wellfleet to the way it originally sounded. You can also upgrade your Sumiko Oyster-series Rainier, Olympia, or Moonstone phono cartridge to Wellfleet status with a simple stylus swap.
Wellfleet is Sumiko's newest addition to its Rainier collection of MM moving magnet phono cartridges. With the Wellfleet, Sumiko has applied and upgraded its award-winning design of the Moonstone cartridge, retuning the suspension for optimal performance of a nude elliptical diamond with the existing generator and resonance-optimized housing found in the rest of the Rainier series.
With the Wellfleet, vocals are immediate, clear, and detailed, the warmth of human vocal work becomes more apparent with hints of rasp and emphasized subtleties, boosted by tight and well controlled bass. Backing vocals become easier to discern, and the listener is able to identify distinct instrumentation such as the rattle of snare wires, or the woody twang of a vintage acoustic guitars. Listeners will hear an improvement in surface noise and sense a more distanced backdrop, facilitating a deeply suspended image.
NOTE: This product consists of the replacement stylus only. Phono cartridge not included.
