Audio-Technica AT33PTG/2 Dual Moving Coil MC Cartridge

Description

The AT33PTG/II dual moving coil cartridge features a
Microlinear stylus that, with its small curvature radius, delivers
low-distortion, high-range performance, even when playing the inner
circumference of a record. The Microlinear stylus, which has an average life
span of around 1,000 hours, is mounted on a nude tapered boron cantilever with
a double damper for reduced weight and better audio quality. 

The cartridge’s two coils provide excellent channel
separation and are affixed within a strong, lightweight mold made of hard resin
to greatly reduce unwanted vibration. The cartridge uses a neodymium magnet and
a permendur yoke for dramatically enhanced magnetic energy. The PCOCC (Pure
Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coils ensure pure audio transmission.

field-replaceable.
