DESCRIPTION

Hand fitted with a silky pearwood body that recalls the glamorous low-output moving coil cartridges of analog's past; Celebration commemorates our 25 years 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 of our continuing desire to reveal the vibrant and exciting colors of analog. experience fine tuning the sound.
