Pearwood Celebration II
SUMIKO has updated the venerable Celebration to the
Pearwood Celebration II for music lovers seeking the musical
experience of the finest and most expensive phono pickups
but at a reasonable cost. New advances in material technology
and construction techniques has allowed for a significant
improvement in sound quality resulting in the creation of
this new Mark II version. Upgrades to the original Celebration
include a brand new handcrafted Pearwood cartridge body
providing better rigidity. A refined long-grain boron cantilever
and most notably, a new ultra low-mass Ogura Jewel Co.
P9 Stylus (Vital Design) that greatly improves tracking and
information recovery. In addition, a machined billet Teflon
back plate with custom hollow and tapered brass mounting
pins are incorporated for better electrical contact as well as
ease of installation. These refinements result in a cartridge
that offers more extension in both frequency extremes
along with an extremely articulate mid-band range. The
Pearwood Celebration II embodies all the virtues you expect
form Sumiko and more!
Palo Santos Presentation
For over thirty-five years, SUMIKO has provided a comprehensive
range of phono cartridges to music lovers seeking the finest
musical experience at a variety of price points. In fact, the
great market success of SUMIKO phono cartridges has
hinged on their phenomenal cost-to-performance ratio.
The Palo Santos Presentation is no exception. New design
requirements incorporating advances in material technology
and construction techniques have resulted in a significantly
improved design which delivers a highly refined and
resolved, yet musically satisfying sound quality previously
unavailable at or even near its price.
Improvements grace virtually every facet of the product
to differentiate it from the Pearwood Celebration II. Most
significant is the new generator anchoring system, which has
substantially improved rigidity thus reducing resonance and
background noise to previously unheard of levels. From the
new handcrafted Palo Santos (ecofriendly Brazilian Rosewood)
body, which is shorter in height to aid vision when mounting
and aligning this cartridge, to the Long-Grain Boron cantilever
and new Line Contact stylus, which significantly improves
resolution. The Palo Santos Presentation truly deserves the
title as our flagship offering.
