Very good sound & avoidance of record wear

This cart is high-quality for a number of reasons.
1. the tracking force is kept to a low number(1.4gr nominal)
2. Ohno Continuous Casting Copper used in the internal wiring=better detail retrieval and imaging.
3. dual magnet for separation
4. Perhaps most importantly, the MicroLine stylus is very easy on the grooves and keeps wear of your records to a minimum.

Pros Other, serious listening on a real hi-fi system
Cons pricey styli(not really a con)

I have owned many cart's over the last forty years, this one is the best value of them all. The overall balance of the response is it's biggest asset. The soundstage is wide and open. This is mounted on a mid priced 20 year old Technics TT that has never sounded better. I have only heard two cartridges that sound better than this one. One is the AT-oc9/lll which I have on another TT, the other is on the Mcintosh turntable which at $12,000 (yes I said TWELVE THOUSAND) is still on my wish list.
Pros Casual Listening, Archiving

I've had this cartridge for at least 5 years. It's very musical sounding, captures fine details and delivers expert tracking. It also works quite well with the less expensive and easier to find AT120E replacement stylus.
Pros Casual Listening, Archiving, superb product
Cons replacement stylus hard to find at retailers
