phono stage relative to a line stage device such as a CD player.
Note:
If your receiver or pre-amp has capacitance loading capabilities, a Sumiko high output moving coil cartridges
should be loaded with a value no higher than 200pf, and ideally below 100pf.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
Optimum performance can only be achieved by maintaining a clean stylus and record surface. If your
records are kept very clean, the brush supplied with your cartridge will suffice to remove accumulated dust if it is
used after each play. Be sure to either turn the volume down or select a different input prior to doing this. Only use
a back to front motion when contacting the stylus during cleaning. To remove compacted debris, we recommend
LAST cleaning products (The LAST Factory, 2015 Research Dr., Livermore, CA 94550 USA, (925) 449-9449) as the
best and safest stylus cleaner available.
