More details from Sumiko:
"Our first offering in the new Oyster line-up is the venerable Rainier, which continues the Pearlās legacy for smooth, natural sound reproduction. After years of development, we are proud to introduce an all-new integrated body and generator system that significantly reduces internal resonances. With the ability to change to the Olympia or Moonstone stylus allows for upgrades with out replacing the entire cartridge."
From a great review by Thom Moon via Soundstage! Access:
"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. It handledĀ warped records with aplomb, and LP surface noise was minimal, even from records I canātĀ get entirely clean. But when the groove was trashed, that came through in no uncertain terms.
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 Iām on the lookout for a new cartridge, the Sumiko Rainier will be on my shortlist. It should be on yours."
