Audio Technica AT33PTG/II Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge

AT33PTG/II Dual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge, with Nude Square Shank Microlinear Stylus, by Audio Technica.

This model succeeds in thinning down and shortening the cantilever, compared to the AT33PTG. The coil impedance is also refined from 17Ω to 10Ω. Audio-Technica have realized significant weight reduction of the vibration system and successfully improved the basic performance and sound quality of the cartridge.

Microlinear (ML) is a specially polished line contact stylus. This has better high range performance than the conical or elliptical stylus due to its small curvature radius and realizes low distortion and expanding high range reproduction even when playing at the inner circumference of records. And the constancy of the line contact shape is one of its main features with an average product lifetime of around 1000 hours.

Neodymium magnet with dramatically enhanced magnetic energy and permendur yoke with high saturation flux density and outstanding magnetic properties.

The PCOCC coil enables purer transmission because it is not subject to grain boundaries in the direction of transmission, while the VC mould that affixes the coil is made with hard synthetic resin containing potassium titanate to make it strong and rigid.
