Sumiko Phono Box (original) 
To manufacture a high performance phono stage at this price requires simplicity of design and carefully selected components. This results in a dual mono design featuring Class A components and ultra low noise integrated circuits throughout the signal path. Versatility and compatibility are not compromised, as the Phono Box™ easily switches between MM and MC using internal jumpers, while Acti-Damp circuitry allows for automatic impedance matching with the widest array of phono cartridges. The Phono Box™ is designed to connect to any line level input (aux, CD, tape, et al). Flexibility and performance per dollar make this phono stage a must for any entry level turntable.

Sumiko Blackbird Cartridge.  The Sumiko Black Bird, designed for exceedingly low noise levels, wide dynamic range and the highest possilbe fidelity in its price class, Blackbird is destined to become an analog classic. Each cartridge is assembled using time honored, labor intensive techniques, hand calibrated and critically auditioned to meet the most rigorous standards of consistancy. The main advantage of high output moving coil cartridges is the elimination of any additional gain stages, resulting in an overall reduction of the noise floor. With 2.5mV directly driving a standard 47k Ohm RIAA phono stage, the best possible signal to noise ratio is realized.
