A clamp covering the record label, will only keep the center of the record perfectly flattened. A metal ring, on the outer etch will only keep the outer part of the record flattened. The only way to flatten the record completely, is by obtaining a vacuum between the record and the mat\/platter – vacuum hold down. The vacuum hold down invented by Bergmann Audio, is the most user friendly system. The vacuum pump – which is in the air supply box – doesn’t need to be turned “OFF”, when changing record.

The digital outputs are fixed at 24-bit\/96kHz to capture the full dynamic range of a record while optimizing digital file size.

Previous cartridges – LMC-1 and LMC-2 – came out in 1981-1982. In developing the new product, Luxman sought to create a head that can accurately follow the path, absorbing the slightest deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt took a long time to design the cartridge, using the same principles that Luxman applies to its amplifiers and other components – including careful listening at every stage. As stated, the result is a cartridge that ideologically develops the character inherent in the LMC-1 and LMC-2 with the help of modern technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe needle holder is aluminum, it has a Shibata sharpened diamond needle, which, according to the developers, provides less noise and extracts more information from the recording.

The magnet itself is samarium-cobalt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"code-block code-block-1\"\u003eProtection against noise and vibration has also received a lot of attention.

Evident in the very existence of our hobby is music’s unique ability to reach us with a certain profundity that exists well outside of what we can hear. It can be said that feelings are what we’re chasing, and if invoked by the most convincing portrayal of your dearest recordings, those feelings can be all the more profound. A sonic image can thus be priceless, and we’ve designed Starling to realize that image in your system. Added to the resonance-optimized headblock \u0026amp; generator borrowed from Songbird, Starling implements a rigid boron cantilever finished with an ultra-low-mass Microridge stylus. Microridge is a diamond profile highly regarded worldwide for its even-handedness while simultaneously delivering richness \u0026amp; clarity. Bonded to our assembly, rarely has this famous stylus achieved such agility in the groove — certainly not at Starling’s price.

Resonance having a more significant impact than many listeners may realize, we sought to reimagine how the housing resonates around the generator… and we feel we’ve struck gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sonic presentation of Blue Point No. 3 harkens back to vintage Shure \u0026amp; Stanton MMs remembered for their smoothness. With our tried \u0026amp; true MC generator system, that smoothness is enhanced with the subtlety \u0026amp; nuance you’d expect from a Sumiko MC. First and foremost – and if ever the word were appropriate – Blue Point No. 3 assembles its sonic picture from the ground up with its oh-so \u003cem\u003ebuttery \u003c\/em\u003elow-end response. Bass enthusiasts are in for a treat here. Full \u0026amp; warm yet defined \u0026amp; textured, the coziness of the bass will invite you right in. It doesn’t stop there, however. You can expect the similar lushness through the mids that remain decipherable,  high-frequency attack \u0026amp; decay that’s simply sweet \u0026amp; airy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving developed such a refinement on a classic design, introducing a low-output variant was a no-brainer. As strongly as we stand behind Blue Point No. 3 High, Blue Point No. 3 Low is a game changer. Owners of MC phonostages can experience the same listenability mentioned above, but with the depth \u0026amp; imaging typical of a low-output design, then some. As with its predecessors,  Blue Point No. 3 remains a high-value performer that’s easy on your pocket book, and with the introduction of Blue Point No. 3 Low, there’s a Blue Point for everyone!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sumiko","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":44233464217833,"sku":"Blue Point No. 3 High MC","price":579.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8750\/2569\/products\/sumiko-blue-point-no.-3-high-output-mc-phono-cartridge.jpg?v=1673288342"}],"url":"https:\/\/nintronics.co.uk\/collections\/turntables-accessories.oembed?page=9","provider":"Nintronics UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
