SUMIKO BLUE POINT SPECIAL EVO III HIGH OUTPUT MC PHONO CARTRIDGE - UNDER 100Hrs More photos later today. HiFiChoice: Weighing in at 8.3g, the EVO III is the most affordable Sumiko offering to utilise an ultra-low resonance open generator design. This features a resonance-controlled mounting plate in order to offer the lowest possible mechanical impedance. My observations: Hard to put into words, but a rock album played on this cartridge seemed to have more life than others I have owned in the same price range. Full orchestra classical sounded bigger with better instrument placement. Jazz simply more involving and exciting. Ships insured to the 48 contiguous states.

Sumiko Blue Point Special Evo III Moving Coil CartridgeNice Condition 300hrs Up for grabs is a really great cartridge that I had on my Linn Sondek (until I got a deal on a much more expensive cart). Guessing about 300 hours of usage. Played flawlessly. I dont have the original box, but Ill find something comparable to ship it in. ----Sumiko has been making high-quality phono cartridges for over 30 years. The Blue Point Special EVO III is the latest incarnation of the long-standing Blue Point Special moving-coil cartridge range and is the Japanese manufacturer’s lowest-cost, high-output MC offering. It is available as either low or high-output – the latter enabling it to be used without a step-up transformer, the former requiring the transformer or a phono stage with a moving-coil input. Our review sample is a high-output version, although the specifications of both are the same.Weighing in at 8.3g, the EVO III is the most affordable Sumiko offering to utilise an ultra-low resonance open generator design. This features a resonance-controlled mounting plate in order to offer the lowest possible mechanical impedance. The cartridge has a rated compliance of 12 x 106cm/dyne (or 12 µm/mN), which makes it a medium-compliance cartridge ideally suited to tonearms of effective mass between 11g and 25g.The stylus tip is a 0.3 x 0.7µm elliptical diamond, mounted on a chemically coated aluminium pipe cantilever. At the other end of the cantilever the generator coils sit within a Alnico permanent magnet and generate 2.5mV at 1kHz. Tracking force is between 1.8g and 2.2g, with 2g force recommended.On Jul-18-23 at 07:28:09 PDT, seller added the following information: This is the High Output version and will work with a MM preamp stage

Sumiko Oyster BLUE Point Special EVO III. (0.5mV) Low Output MC Phono Cartridge. The cantilever came out when it was mishandled. The last 3 pics are what it looked like when I first received it. The pics with the detached cantilever reflect the condition it is in now. If someone out there knows how to put it back together, Bid away!

Just back from the retipper. Retipped back to factory specs. New cantilever and diamond. Zero hours.
