Description
BLUE POINT NO. 3 LOW
Blue Point No. 3 Low offers the smooth, sweet sonics of its high output brethren, but with an added degree refinement for owners of an MC phono stage. Significant reductions in moving mass and internal impedance are the result of far fewer turns of copper in the moving coil assembly. With greater stylus mobility and a shorter signal path, you gain improvements in detail retrieval, dynamics, air around instruments, resolution and transient attack.
Trade In or Trade Up
As user-replaceable styli are not on an option for MC phono cartridges, remember that any of our MCs, functional or otherwise, can be returned to your dealer in a re-tip exchange — a discount on a new cartridge of equal or greater value — sparing you expense when your stylus heads south. *Note: The trade-in program is valid for US customers only.
Hand-Crafted in Japan
Each Sumiko phono cartridge is hand-assembled by the world-class cartridge makers at Excel Sound in Yokohama, Japan – a relationship we’ve proudly maintained for nearly forty years. We use only the finest materials that combine to deliver performance that has enlightened generations of listeners. Each design is thoroughly auditioned until it meets our stringent standards for sound. Production is then executed by expert craftsmen with a collective eye for precision & quality. The result is a family of cartridges that render emotion through tonally balanced, refined and fatigueless analog reproduction.
Reviews
“…there is always a feeling of the whole piece being conveyed convincingly. Its tonal realism and involvement are particularly strong.” —Hi-Fi Choice Recommended
“…the Blue Point 3 sounds far more refined, smooth and sweet compared to its somewhat more ‘rough around the edge’ predecessor.” —Analog Planet
