With the new assembly, excessive mass in the shank is cut away to further reduce tip mass, resulting in a faster, more direct, and more accurate response to the stylus’ movement by the cantilever and magnet. Sonically, this increases speed and focuses central images, pulling them toward the listener with a heightened detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the Wellfleet, vocals are immediate, clear, and detailed, the warmth of human vocal work becomes more apparent with hints of rasp and emphasized subtleties, boosted by tight and well-controlled bass. Backing vocals become easier to discern, and the listener is able to identify distinct instrumentation such as the rattle of snare wires, or the woody twang of vintage acoustic guitars. Listeners will hear a drop in surface noise, and sense a more distanced backdrop, facilitating a deeply suspended image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stylus is \u003ca href=\"sumiko-wellfleet-replacement-stylus\" title=\"Sumiko Wellfleet replacement stylus product page\"\u003ereplaceable\u003c\/a\u003e and upgradeable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moving magnet with high-purity copper coils\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nude elliptical, 0.3 x 0.7 mil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e ⌀0.5 mm aluminum pipe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,130 Ω @ 1 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kΩ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Hz–30 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 mV @ 1 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Separation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChannel Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;1 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 x 10-6 cm\/dyn @ 100 Hz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 pF–200 pF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVertical Tracking Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25°\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracking Force Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 g–2.2 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tracking Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.7 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sumiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41381650792632,"sku":"WELLFLEET","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/products\/Wellfleet-Phono-Cartridge-Showing-Stylus-Assembly.jpg?v=1741630661","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/sumiko-wellfleet-moving-magnet-cartridge","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
