Sumiko, now part of the McIntosh Group, are due to announce at the Munich High End Show, May 10-13, 2018....
Oyster Series moving magnets:
- Rainier (5mV output)
- Olympia (4mV output)
- Moonstone (3mV output)
- Amethyst (2.5mV output)
Reference Series moving coils:
- Songbird (2.5mV high output)
- Starling (0.5mV output)
All the MMs except for the flagship Amethyst, share the same body, so stylus assemblies can be interchanged & upgraded.
Suggested USD retail prices are:
MC: Songbird - $899, Starling - $1899
MM: Rainier - $149, Olympia - $199, Moonstone $299, and the Amethyst $599
Note the MM bodies have threaded metal inserts for fixing screws.
I am not sure, but possibly also the new MC's CNC-machined aluminium body plates are similarly threaded.
