The apex of our 3 new Oysters, Moonstone is dressed to impress. Further reducing moving-mass & output and topped off with our listen-tested 0.3 x 0.7mil elliptical diamond, Moonstone transcribes sonic imagery with weight, richness, depth & sparkle. Texture is keenly realistic. The sonic image is suspended and well-controlled over a nearly-absent noise floor, providing fantastic clarity without etch nor confusion. Compatible with MM preamps and the vast majority of tonearms out there, Moonstone is a must-have for audiophiles on a budget.

The AT33xMLD features a microlinear nude stylus on a duralumin tapered cantilever delivering warm detailed sound ideal for rock and jazz. Its piano-wire suspension improves tracking and enhances mid-low range performance while the composite zinc aluminum and polymer body minimizes resonance for balanced natural playback. Independent PCOCC coils in the dual moving coil design ensure excellent channel separation and smooth signal transmission supported by a neodymium magnet and permendur yoke for efficient high-resolution sound.FeaturesDual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge with Microlinear Nude StylusPCOCC Coils Ensure Smooth Signal TransmissionComposite Body Reduces Resonance for Balanced SoundMaterial DifferenceThe AT33xMLD’s rigid duralumin pipe cantilever which tapers toward the microlinear 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. The AT33xMLD is an excellent choice for playing rock and jazz records particularly those recorded in the 1950s ’60s and ’70s.
