Following is their comment about this review article.
**********************************
The headline says right in the middle of the analogue heart.
A dream MC cartridge for an affordable price with a very lively and authentic sound. It hits analogue-fans right in the middle of their heart.
This blue rider sounds airy like a dream, vivid, with a lot of detail and outstanding authenticity. Even the stereoplay-highlight Ultra Gold MC could not follow.
Compared to the more expensive Umami Red, the Umami Blue stands at 95%. Which means: it was very close"
The Umami Blue is categorized into category "Absolute Spitzenklasse" (absolutely top-class) which is the highest category for phono cartridges; within this category, all the cartridges listed above the Blue are more expensive. This is an excellent result.
