The Sumiko RS Rainier is the factory replacement stylus for Rainier-family moving-magnet cartridges. It restores the cartridge’s original warm, composed balance and reliable tracking while preserving the convenience of a user-replaceable stylus assembly.
RS Rainier is the entry-level stylus in the interchangeable range, so there is no cheaper sibling below it. It is the economical choice for routine listening, older records or restoring a worn Rainier without changing cartridge alignment.
