Pearl MM Phono Cartridge
Classic Moving Magnet Phono Pickup
The classic Pearl phono cartridge has been dazzling listeners for decades. Physically compatible with most tonearms on the market and a perfect fit for any MM system, it’s a reminder that one doesn’t have to exhaust their budget to achieve next-level sound quality. Dynamic yet smooth and incredibly musical, it’s an evenly balanced cartridge with enticing highs, decisive mids & deep, well-rounded bass.
Our Classic Oysters
The series is comprised of our Oyster (MM), Black Pearl (MM), Pearl (MM), Blue Point No. 2 (HOMC) & Blue Point Special EVO III (H & LOMC) — each capable of delivering a degree of refinement you have yet to hear from your turntable system. The cartridges have established themselves over decades as high-value gems that dependably outperform listeners’ expectations for their dollar.
Hand-Crafted in Japan
Each Sumiko phono cartridge is crafted by hand in Yokohama, Japan — near the waters where our namesake Oysters dwell. We’ve selected by ear the finest materials that combine to deliver a performance that has enlightened generations of listeners. Each design is thoroughly auditioned until perfected. Production is then performed by world-class cartridge makers with a collective eye for precision & quality.

The Pearl cartridge is a budget hi-fi gem, and I am glad to be able to get a replacement stylus for it. In the interim I tried a decent AT cartridge, but it simply lacked the warmth, soundstage and realism of the Pearl with classical music.

This is for a client of mine, but from what it looks like, it has a very good build and very clean, simple design. And coming from Pro Ject as their oem stylus it must be good.

PERFECT Fit! I was so happy to find this Replacement Stylus that was a direct replacement for the dated Andante E stylus I needed to replace. Great Price and so far it sounds comparable if not a bit louder than the original.

Purchased a new Peal stylus to replace my aging one. To my disappointment it did not come with any instructions nor could I find any help on the internet. When I attempted to put the new stylus on it broke. So no new stylus for me.

Easy removal (grab front plate, pull away from cartridge) and installation of replacement (reverse). Sounds great, easy way to refresh your stylus without buying entire cartridge. Hopefully you are doing this by choice and not because your stylus got damaged. Good time to consider buying a spare.

Had to replace my original stylus when an errant feather duster snagged the needle and snapped it off. Got this one in 2 days, fit perfect, sounds as good as the first. Super easy replacement, too. Basically just pull the old one straight out and snap this one in.

Perfect! Slipped into my cartridge perfectly and easily and was up and running again in seconds! Sounds amazing!
