The Black Pearl is the second model up in the slightly confusingly named Oyster series of cartridges from Sumiko. This takes the entry level cartridges performance up another level, with a new body and tightened tolerances for a bolder and more precise sound.
It features a conical diamond profile on an aluminium cantilever. Unusually at this price point it also features an Alnico magnet, which are prized for their natural and grain free character.

This cartridge can also be upgraded by fitment of the Elliptical tipped Pearl stylus assembly.
