Celebration
Hand fitted with a silky pearwood body that recalls the glamorous
low-output moving coil cartridges of analog’s past, Celebration
commemorates Sumiko’s three decades designing and distributing
the finest in phono cartridges. Using a blend of cutting edge
materials and the tried and true, Celebration returns the excitement
of analog’s glory days. The mechanical foundation for the intricate
workings is a unique machined alloy “cradle” into which the entire
generating system of the cartridge is fitted, held in place with a
single compression screw. Within this structure, the magnet is
mounted against a yoke that creates a linear, uniform density
magnetic field completely surrounding the coil. To make the
most effective use of this ingenious structure, complementary
components were carefully selected: a classic Alnico magnet for
a robust 0.5 mV output; a low mass PH stylus for ease of set-up;
a long-grain boron cantilever for stiffness and self quieting; new
synthetic rubber elastomers in the suspension system for superior
performance and longevity.
The sound of Celebration is the product not only of Sumiko’s
many years experience fine-tuning fine sound, but also of our
continuing desire to reveal the vibrant and exciting colors of analog.
