Building on Rainier, Olympia implements an upgraded cantilever assembly that reduces moving mass, translating to more nimble groove tracing, extended nuance and expanded frequency response. A slight decrease in output from Rainier reduces noise in an already-quiet design, improving imaging and perpetuating realism that’s rare to come by in this class of cartridge.
- Hand-Crafted in Japan: We’ve selected by ear the finest materials that combine to deliver performance that has enlightened generations of listeners. Each design is thoroughly auditioned until perfected.
- Upgrade Path: Our latest range of MM cartridges is comprised of Rainier, Olympia, Moonstone, Wellfleet & Amethyst (not to mention the RS 78 replacement stylus). All styli are physically interchangeable and all cartridge bodies are identical except for Amethyst, which uses an improved anatomy to bolster the performance of the line-contact diamond

Building on Rainier, Olympia implements an upgraded cantilever assembly that reduces moving mass, translating to more nimble groove tracing, extended nuance and expanded frequency response. A slight decrease in output from Rainier reduces noise in an already-quiet design, improving imaging and perpetuating realism that’s rare to come by in this class of cartridge.
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.
Experience vinyl with stunning realism through the Audio-Technica AT-VM745xML VMx Microlinear Phono Cartridge. Its dual moving magnet design mirrors the original cutter head for outstanding channel separation and a vivid stereo image. A precision microlinear stylus and solid boron cantilever capture extraordinary detail, tracking grooves with accuracy that surpasses standard styli. Paratoroidal coils, a center shield plate, and a rigid metal body reduce crosstalk and resonance for clean, dynamic sound. Easy installation, interchangeable styli, and broad headshell compatibility make this cartridge a refined upgrade for passionate listeners seeking warmth, clarity, and lifelike musical performance.
The AT-VMx series elevates premium dual moving magnet cartridge design with added warmth, precision, and realism for engaging vinyl playback. Dual magnets aligned to the stereo groove mirror the cutting head geometry, delivering accurate tracking, wide frequency response, and strong channel separation. Advanced paratoroidal coils with high-purity copper wire, fewer turns, and a center shield plate reduce crosstalk and sharpen transients for a clean, stable stereo image. The AT-VM750xSH adds a lightweight Shibata stylus and solid boron cantilever for greater groove contact, lower distortion, and faster signal transmission, capturing delicate detail and dynamic impact. Easy-mount threaded inserts, a V-cut stylus guard, interchangeable styli, and a low-resonance metal body make this cartridge refined, versatile, and simple to install.
