Rega Planar 3 turntable fitted with a Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridge. Great overall condition, plays beautifully with a great sound. Good cosmetic condition, the dust cover is in very clean condition with only some micro scratches from dusting. The TT base has some smudges in the finish, these are visible in the photos, I have not tried to clean it so they may come off or may not. The tone arm is original. The Sumiko cartridge has been very well cared for, I use the Last products for the stylus, however it does have many hours of record playing. I also have a Rega Super Bias cartridge with very low play hours (the original one before changing to the BPS, in the original box) that will be included. The belt has low hours but the turntable has not been used for a while so the belt may need to be replaced. Edit to original description: I cleaned the smudges with a micro fiber and very mild soap solution, they cleaned up well however the finish is very susceptible to smudging apparently. I also noticed a very slight scuff/scratch under the tonearm in the process of cleaning. Not sure how that got there. I have added some new photos, with the lighting they are more noticeable in the photos than in person IMO so this is the worst case. Also added are photos of the extra Rega Super Bias cartridge. Shipping will be via UPS ground, insured. Have original box, but the item will be double boxed. The item is relatively large and heavy, shipping will be actual cost based on eBays ship calculator. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Thanks for looking!

For Sale is a Sumiko Blue Point Special EVO III High Output Moving Coil cartridge & Technics Headshell in excellent condition. The stylus is not bent or broke, the needle is intact. It works excellent and sounds superb it has been tested. Shows very little signs of use please see photos for complete Details.From the web: 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.Fitting the EVO III to my Jelco arm is quite easy as it has a removable headshell. It’s an open design, so a stylus guard can’t be fitted – meaning care must be taken when attaching it to the tonearm. I set up the arm with 2g tracking force and align it using a Baerwald protractor. I connect my turntable to an ADL Stratos digital preamp/phono stage, (HFC 455) set up as an MM phono stage.Sound quality I start off listening to a direct-cut LP of Lyn Stanley and her Jazz Mavericks’ London With A Twist. This audiophile LP was engineered by Allen Sides and Bernie Grundman at the Bernie Grundman Studios in Hollywood. Stanley’s sultry jazz style when she sings Blue Moon is smooth, effortless, yet highly detailed. The performance is scarily realistic in my listening room, with a soundstage that extends well beyond the confines of the speakers with great depth and superb instrument focus.With another audiophile LP – this time on the Chasing the Dragon label – of a live performance of Vivaldi concertos played by Interpreti Veneziani, the music is equally captivating. I am able to locate all of the eight players individually across my listening room. The soundstage has impressive depth and the EVO III turns out a remarkably sophisticated performance. The detail of the cello in particular during Vivaldi’s Cello Concerto in A major is simply fantastic and I really feel as though I am sitting within a few feet of the performer.A great new all-analogue double album of jazz music from Pro-Ject Records sung by Austria’s 7RAY in both studio and live recording environments is sparklingly clear. With the studio recordings, there is a real sense of intimacy to the male vocals that stands out from the instrumental accompaniment. The additional atmospheric dimension that comes from the live performances is beautifully captured by the Sumiko cartridge.Moving to a full orchestra and the slow and tense opening adagio of Beethoven’s Symphony No.4 in B flat major played by the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, leads to a deeply moving and very pure experience. Once again, I’m treated to a highly refined performance, and when the piece progresses into the cheerful allegro vivace, the playing is powerful and extremely exhilarating. This piece perfectly demonstrates both the outstanding imaging and the solid and well-controlled bass. The Blue Point Special EVO III is certainly a great cartridge and one of the best high-output options I have heard at this price Free shipping to the lower 48 states, I do take pride in packing and I will pack with great care at no extra charge, poly bags, foam shims, wire ties, Bubble wrap etc. I prefer paypal, cashier check, payment, Please buy with confidence see my feedbacks. Thanks for looking, Chris Track Page Views WithAuctivas Counter

SUMIKO Blue Point Special EVO.3 / Hi High Output MC Cartridge Description & Condition only a main part. (There are no installation tools or lead wires.) I wonder if the red (right channel+) mark on the pin where the lead wire is inserted is missing. Because it is a high output MC cartridge, the phono equalizer can be played at the MM position. When we checked the operation, we confirmed that the sound came out without any problems. There is some signs of use on the exterior. The internal structure and ultra-fine lead wire of this cartridge are exposed on the side of the main body. Please be very careful when installing. Shipping We ship using FedEx, DHL and Japan Post.
