The AT-OC9XSH Dual Moving Coil cartridge with special line contact stylus is designed to provide outstanding channel separation. The Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC) coils ensure pure audio transmission and are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation to exert less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. Audio quality is further enhanced by a rigid aluminum body that reduces resonance, a neodymium magnet and premium permendur yoke that dramatically increase the magnetic energy, and the nude special line contact stylus on a boron cantilever that tracks the record groove with ultimate accuracy, delivering rich, full-range audio and high transient response. The cartridge body has been pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted to a headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required. Dual Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separation. The coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. The cartridge body is pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted onto the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required. Features nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever with accurate tracking ability and high transient response. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provide dramatically increased magnetic energy. Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction. Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer.

The AT VM750xSH H combo kit delivers a refined vinyl upgrade with a Shibata dual moving magnet cartridge factory mounted on the AT LT10 universal headshell for fast and accurate installation. Part of the updated VMx series, this cartridge features a solid boron cantilever, precision Shibata stylus, paratoroidal coils, and a center shield plate to enhance channel separation, balance, and transient response while reducing crosstalk. A low resonance polymer body and metal construction preserve musical detail and dynamics. The lightweight aluminum die cast headshell minimizes vibration, allows precise alignment, and uses oxygen free copper leads and a secure finger lift for confident cueing and consistent, high fidelity playback.

The AT33xEN is a versatile cartridge that delivers warm full-bodied audio with excellent tracking and high-frequency control thanks to its 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus on a duralumin tapered cantilever. Its advanced suspension system with piano wire enhances accuracy and mid-low range response while the composite body of zinc aluminum and high-rigidity polymer reduces resonance for balanced natural sound. The dual moving coil design with PCOCC coils ensures outstanding channel separation and smooth signal transmission supported by a neodymium magnet and permendur yoke for high efficiency and resolution.FeaturesDual Moving Coil Cartridge with Elliptical Nude StylusPCOCC Coils Ensure Smooth Signal TransmissionComposite Body Reduces Resonance for Balanced SoundMaterial DifferenceThe AT33xEN’s rigid duralumin pipe cantilever which tapers toward the elliptical stylus tip for improved response is linked with a firm suspension mechanism slightly lowering the dynamic compliance. Two independent PCOCC coils are positioned at the cantilever’s fulcrum to ensure pure signal transmission for each channel.Sound BodyEach AT33x Series cartridge body is constructed of three distinct materials – die-cast zinc aluminum and high-rigidity polymer – optimally arranged to reduce and disperse resonance across the cartridge body so that no frequency predominates during playback. Threaded holes are incorporated into the body for easy mounting.Full Warm SoundThe redesigned AT33x Series cartridges deliver that classic analog sound rich in detail across the audio spectrum with lifelike expressiveness in the mid to low frequencies.What's in the BoxAT33xEN Dual Moving Coil Stereo CartridgeInstallation KitManualSpecifications

Borrowing the smooth character of its sibling Oyster, Black Pearl implements an improved housing that allows for wider frequency response. This makes way for more nuance and greater stereo imaging in a more cohesive soundstage. Enjoyable for hours on end, Black Pearl is famously high in value, pairs perfectly with any MM phonostage and is physically compatible with a wide array of tonearms.
