@pindac, You forgot the most important feature, the walnut storage case. It is an interesting cartridge from a very competent manufacturer. Now if they come up with an ultra low impedance version I will buy one.
A New MC to Catch One's Attention
The Link is showing a most recent Cartridge on offer from Audio Technica.
From what I see in the sales spiel, there are a good line up of what would be Ticked Boxes to get the model noticed.
There seems to be plenty on offer to get one's attention.

I've got a few nice Storage Boxes for one Tonearm and one Cart'. It is a nice initial introduction to the purchased product, but a short-lived encounter, the Tonearm is on show, but rarely used, the Presentation / Storage Box is inserted back into the Cardboard Box Protector and forgotten about. The Cart' is mounted on a Detachable Headshell and stored in a FR K5 Cartridge Keeper, when not being used. The Presentation/Storage Box is also inserted back into the Cardboard Box Protector and is long forgotten about. I prefer how SME or Ortofon supply a Tonearm or Cart', where a foam protector is produced in a perfectly matching form to suit the item inside. When such a packaging is put away into storage, it does not seem to be the more sensible of an approach. I do have Three Wooden Cases on display in relation to the HiFi, one pair being a Beautifully crafted Hard Wood Sided Casing with a Mirror Polished Top Plate which belongs to the Power Supply and Input/Out Put circuitry on my Bespoke Built Phon'. The other is always on show, but not as attractive as the other owned cases. It is a Birch Wood Case for a tool that functions as an Off Board Strobe. This one serves as a Plinth for seating the other readily available items used for Vinyl/Cartridge Care. Before December all Items of HiFi upstream of the Amp's, used for the Vinyl Source to perform will be buried away in storage, and in January the complete system will be in storage, the CD source is on a few individuals radar to experience and can also remain in usage for the Xmas Period. Alexia all the way from January onwards. |
Dear @kennyc : " Maybe one piece diamond stylus+cantilever is superior. "
Not maybe but always is superior but that is one part of the whole cartridge. The advantage here is that Audio Technica is a solid and experienced succesful cartridge manufacturer.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
