Review on Enhance Your Vinyl Experience with the Sumiko Rainier Phono Cartridge: The Ultimate Audiophile's Choice by David Vargas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for its price range

Great cartridge so far. Use it on a 1980's Technics turntable. Update: After using it (lightly) for a month, I noticed that it produces an uncontrollable hiss/distortion at times. I've used professional alignment tools and protractors and I can't get them off. Some records are worse than others (all on new vinyl). I went back to my old Audio Technica cartridge and had no problems with it. As I said, I used it lightly, maybe 3-4 hours a week.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Annoying
