Anyone have an opinion about whether the AT120E/T would be a good match to a late-70's vintage Pioneer PL-514?
Thanks.

I just mated the AT95E with the Pioneer PL400, and was quite impressed. It certainly sounded as good - or perhaps better than ever before, and the price (at under $50 at the time) was excellent.
In all likelihood, the AT120E/T will meet or exceed your expectations for the PL-514.

Answer:Â
It should be a good match. Useable cartridge weight for the Pioneer PL-514 turntable is listed as being 4 to 10 grams. The weight of the AT120E/T is 6.2 grams. A weight of 6.2 grams puts the cartridge in the low compliance category. I could not locate an effective tone arm mass specification for the arm on the turntable. An arm of moderate effective mass (11 to 25 grams) would be the best match for a cartridge of low compliance. The AT120E/T was one of our best selling Cartridges during that time period. Even by todays standards, it is still one of the best performers and values in our line.

I have an ATN120E installed on an old Signet TK3Ea body. I'm very impressed by this combination and was wondering whether the specs on the TK3Ea body (not the stylus) are the same or different from the current AT120E/T or perhaps the older AT120E. Also, what are the differences, if any, between the E and E/T versions of this cartridge? Thank you.

Answer:Â
The AT120E and the Signet TK3E are not the same Cartridges, but they are close in terms of performance. The output level of the 120E is slighlty higher. There are no differencse between the AT120E and the E/T. The change in model references a change in the packaging for the Catridge only. The 'T' is for tabbed outer box, which allowed it to be hung on a peg for display.
