Thank you for your purchase of a Sumiko Oyster Series phono cartridge. Sumiko Oyster™ cartridges are
products resulting from over four decades of cartridge design. We believe that delivered high
performance can be achieved at reasonable prices. The Oyster™ line is the embodiment of this
philosophy. Oyster™ is your ticket of entry for the “high end” –- a world of high technology, where
companies go to great lengths to recreate music in your home. The Oyster™ Series offers superior
construction and sound quality with an emphasis on real world performance. Whether you have
purchased a moving magnet or moving coil Sumiko Oyster™, you can be assured of performance and
quality second to none. Enjoy your new cartridge.
Instructions
Mounting: The stylus/cantilever assembly is the most fragile part of any phono cartridge. Please use
extreme caution while handling the cartridge and keep the stylus guard mounted whenever possible to
prevent damage during the mounting process.
Do not solder the leads to the cartridge terminals as excessive heat may permanently damage the
cartridge.
Once the cartridge is mounted, balance the tonearm for the proper vertical tracking force indicated for
each model cartridge (see specications at the end of this manual). To set the tracking force, rst balance
the tonearm. Locate the counterweight. On virtually all pivoted tonearms, it will be located at the rear of
the tonearm (meaning at the opposite end from the cartridge). Generally, it looks like a fairly large,
shallow cylinder, usually black in color and often has numbers (indicating grams of force) ranging from 0
to 3 or more printed on it. As you move the counterweight backwards, the cartridge end of the arm will
lighten (reducing stylus tracking weight), while moving the counterweight forward will increase the stylus
tracking weight. The rst objective is to "statically balance" the arm, which is to achieve the proper weight
balance such that the arm "oats" level. Practice a bit and you'll nd it's fairly easy to achieve. Remember
to exercise caution so that the stylus and cantilever are kept clear of any obstructions and are prevented
from striking anything that could cause damage. After achieving static balance, adjust the counterweight
to the desired tracking force by bringing the weight in toward the cartridge. Do not apply anti-skate until
the cartridge is aligned. This will be addressed later in the setup process.
We recommend the use of a high-quality alignment protractor to determine correct cartridge positioning
for the minimum tracking error. If none are available, follow the tonearm manufacturers guidelines for
overhang and oset angle. Then, tighten the mounting bolts.
Note: Do not over tighten the mounting bolts as this may cause damage to the cartridge and is not
necessary for optimum performance.
Tracking Force: After achieving the correct alignment of the cartridge in the headshell, nal adjustment
of tracking force can be made. The suspension systems and stylus types used in Oyster™ cartridges are
designed to perform optimally when a tracking force of between 1.7 2.3 grams is applied, depending on
which model. If under 1.7 grams tracking force is applied, the stylus will not securely seat in the record
groove, resulting in increased record and stylus wear. At greater than 2.3 grams tracking force, the
suspension is no longer functioning properly and dynamics will be lost. Record damage will occur more
readily with too little tracking force, rather than too much. A recommended optimum tracking force setting
is given for each model in the specication section of this manual.
Anti-Skate/Bias: Due to the rotational inertia of pivoted tonearms, the friction of the stylus on the record
groove produces a force pulling the stylus toward the center of the record. Anti-Skate (or mechanical
bias) is added to compensate for this force in order to equalize the stylus tracking on the sides of the
groove walls. Because this is a dynamic force, do not attempt adjustment using a blank or grooveless
record, as this will result in over compensation.
When using a Sumiko Oyster™ moving magnet cartridges a value equal to the tracking force should be
applied as anti-skate. Two grams tracking force = Two grams of anti-skate.
Vertical Tracking Angle/Stylus Rake Angle: The dimensions of the cutting stylus used in mastering
each vinyl record create a rake (forward-backward tilt) of the record groove. The rake angle may change
for dierent records depending on the method of mastering used. The corresponding rake of the playback
stylus will be one of the determining factors in the delivered performance of your Oyster™ cartridge;
however, all Oyster™ cartridges are designed to give excellent performance over a very wide window of
rake angles. If your tonearm does not have rake or adjustable height adjustment, you may rest assured
that your cartridge will deliver a very high degree of performance. The following is intended for those who
own a tonearm that allows for the adjustment of rake or arm pillar height. To optimize, start with the
tonearm oriented with the back of the arm lower than the front by ≈ 1/2 inch. Listen to a recording
of acoustical music, recorded in real space, to determine the tonal balance and soundstage presentation.
Adjust the tonearm pivot height upwards ≈ 1/6 inch at a time and listen to the changes. When the correct
orientation has been achieved, the soundstage will be better dened and the music will have a richer
harmonic structure. Additionally, surface noise will be reduced dramatically. If the soundstage comes into
focus and becomes very lifelike, but the sound has a slight hardness to the upper frequencies, the
azimuth is probably misaligned (see azimuth section for adjustment details).
Azimuth: For optimum tracking of the record grooves, the stylus must be in correct azimuth (side- -side to
tilt) alignment. Gross side- -side tilt will result in an actual channel imbalance, but this is not a likely to
scenario. More likely, any sort of an azimuth error that you will experience will result in tonal aberrations in
the upper frequencies and not a channel imbalance.
Loading: All Sumiko Oyster™ moving magnet cartridges are designed to work into a standard moving
magnet phone stage at 47kΩ loading. It is normal to experience a slightly lower output from your phono
stage relative to a line stage device such as a CD player.
Note: If your receiver or pre-amp has capacitance loading capabilities, Sumiko cartridges should be
loaded with a value no higher than 200pf.
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 suice to
remove accumulated dust if it is used after each play. Be sure to either turn the volume down or select a
dierent 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 as the
best and safest stylus cleaner available.
Important: Extreme caution should be exercised in cleaning the stylus. A single front to back motion can
permanently damage the cantilever.
Stylus Replacement: Should stylus replacement become necessary, contact your dealer for details on
how to accomplish this for your particular Oyster™ cartridge. Moving magnet models can accept a
replacement stylus/cantilever assembly. See your dealer for more details. The Rainier, Olympia and
Moonstone replacement styluses are interchangeable, so Rainier owners can upgrade up to the
Moonstone without replacing the cartridge body. The Black Pearl and Pearl replacement stylus are
interchangeable as well.
