The resonant frequency with the AT and the Technics arm is about 9hz. That combination is fine!
AT33PTG/II upgrade? Compatible?
Currently running a Nagaoka MP-150 with the 200 stylus. Wondering is the AT33PTG/II is an upgrade or sideways move.
if an upgrade, is it compatible with the Technics GR ‘table and Sutherland 20/20?
been reading about compliance but it’s not making total sense to
me I’m afraid.
thanks in advance.

@noromance and @dover perfect thanks. Might pull the trigger this week. My first MC experience. |
That’s what I got too @yogiboy which seemed like a good fit. |
I highly recommend the AT33PTG/II. My first MC cartridge. I selected it based on 4 things: past AT MM cartridge 440ML, AT33PTG/II’s specs: wide channel separation; tight channel balance, which work together for superior imaging, and advice here which was very favorable.
If you look at the historic or current ART series, their separation/balance specs were superior also. You cannot get those specs without precise control I recently sent it to AT for evaluation, sure enough the stylus was worn as I suspected. They have a program, check it/return it, or sell you a new one. I bought a new one for half price, very pleased about that.
My prior favorite was MM, Shure V15Vxmr, now with a Jico SAS on Boron. Originally picked it over the AT440ml only because it had the damping brush, no longer needed in this location. I have the Shure on my rear arm to play LP’s that do not have as dynamic content, to minimize wear on the non-removable MC stylus, or to handle an amazing amount of warp.

The only thing I don't like is that it tracks at 2.0 grams, but, I prefer it's sound, and 2 gm isn't heavy, it's more an idealistic preferrence.I am used to:
