"I think Sumiko might have a hit on its hands. The Oyster Rainier offered a lovely, warm sound with a wide range of recordings, but could still kick up its heels as required. The Oyster Rainier performed well with both new and old records. It was far simpler to mount in a headshell than many other cartridges - a real treat for a cartridge swapper such as I - and it appears to work well with nearly any medium-mass arm. The next time I’m on the lookout for a new cartridge, the Sumiko Rainier will be on my short list. It should be on yours"
