HOW TO SELECT A MAGNETIC CARTRIDGE TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS
STYLUS TIP TYPE: CONICAL/SPHERICAL=
SIMPLEST & LEAST EXPENSIVE. TOUCHES THE GROOVES OF THE RECORD
WALLS. IT IS GOOD FOR MODERATE OR LESS EXPENSIVE TURNTABLES WHICH
REQUIRE HIGHER TRACKING FORCE. GREAT FOR 45's- 50's & 60's. THE ELLIPTICAL
= 2 RADII, FRONT WIDER THAN THE SIDE..1st INDICATING SIDE
RADIUS. THE SMALLER THE SIDE RADIUS THE BETTER THE SOUND. THIS STYLUS
RIDES IN THE CENTER OF THE GROOVES. GOOD FOR MORE EXPENSIVE
TURNTABLES WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF LOWER TRACKING PRESSURE. GREAT FOR
LP'S..IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
BY LOOKING AT THE CHARTS YOU WILL SEE THAT PRICE IS ALMOST DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE ABOVE ITEMS. THE HIGHER THE PRICE, THE SMALLER THE TIP, THE LESSER TRACKING FORCE RECOMMENDED, AND THE TIP TYPE. BRAND IS MOST OFTEN "PERSONAL PREFERENCE". THOSE LISTED WITH VERY HIGH TRACKING PRESSURE- ARE ALSO DESIGNED FOR 78 STYLI.
ALL ARE GOOD QUALITY MAJOR BRAND PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO NOW IS DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO SPEND AND WHAT YOU WILL GET FOR YOUR MONEY (SPECIFICATION WISE - THAT IS)

Special Purchase-Audio Technica AT95E

1/2" Mount. Hardware included!
We are always looking for good ways for you to spend your money and have heard some very nice things said about the AT95E. This cartridge is not imported to the USA by Audio Technica from Japan so we just had to seek out our own source abroad, and alas here you are. 20-20,000 freq range (wider, AT will not print range because it is too difficult to accurately verify cartridge performance); output voltage 3.5mV; .4x.7mil elliptical diamond stylus tip; aluminum cantilever; weighs 5.7grams and tracks from 1-2grams.
Cartridge mounts with 2 screws (included) to your headshell and the 4 wires from the headshell connect to the rear 4 pins of the cartridge. This is a 1/2" mount style cartridge.

The Audio Technica AT-OC9ML/II Dual MircoCoil (moving coil) Stereo Phono Cartridge is a significant achievement in precision manufacturing, with tolerances held to mere thousandths of an inch. Stringent quality control assures that these tolerances, as well as performance criteria, are maintained by every ATOC9ML/II cartridge. Features: Dual-coil system for maximum channel separation; High-Flux samarium colbalt magnet for improved electrical generation; PCOCC coil windings for low-loss "transparent" signal transmission; Gold-plated solid boron cantilever; MicroLine stylus. Note: This cartridge requires a step-up transformer or headamp to connect to a receiver or pre-amplifier that does not have moving coil inputs. If a tranformer is used, input impedance should be 20 ohms or higher. (Moving Coil Cartridges do not have user replaceable styli/needle assembly) (click here to go our new Website for Prices)

The Audio Technica AT440MLa (moving magnet) is our best seller of the AT family. 1/2" mount. With the special Micro-Line stylus tip and wide frequency range it performs wonderfully on moderately to higher priced systems. A well rounded sound is reproduced. A great value for your dollar! Audiophile Quality! Note: Regarding recent changes from AT440ML to the AT440MLa-Audio Technica response: Because we are unable to accurately verify cartridge performance above 20kHz or below 20Hz., on all new cartridge models we will not publish specifications above 20kHz due to the inherent problems involved in properly verifying performance above 20kHz. However, the AT440MLa uses the same tip design as the AT440ML did, and that only minor changes were made due to discontinuation of some of the parts necessary to continue with the old design. Every effort was made to assure that the AT440MLa performed as well or better than the previous AT440ML. |

The AT301EP and AT311EP are excellent P-mount cartridges with a Universal Adapter to fit both P-mount and Universal mount Headshells. They are all the same body, but each has a smaller stylus tip which widens the freq range of the cartridge. An excellent choice for many turntables, especially Technics that require the P-mount.

GRADO (PRESTIGE SERIES) CARTRIDGES AND STYLI
We are not authorized to ship ANY Grado Product abroad. We are an Authorized Grado Dealer for the USA only.
The Prestige series of cartridges are designed for high output and excellent stability under severe use. A considerable tip mass reduction results in a frequency response to 50kHz and beyond and tracking forces from 1-2 grams. Acclaimed by experts as virtually the finest pickups in the world at their price.
From reviews: John Borwick of "Gramophone" wrote about the $40 Black model, " The Grado brought out most of the tonal accuracy and excitement and, though I've heard better, that was only with cartridges costing about 10 times the price". Hi-Fi Choice, rated the $180 Gold model "BEST BUY" in a field of moving-coils costing 3-4 times the price of the Grado Gold.
Grado has been manufacturing phonographic cartridges for over forty years and is one of the pioneers of the High Fidelity industry.

Approximately 15% of the production run will meet these standards and become Green models (which we call the gifted child of the set). Not for Technics or Rega turnables due to potential hum that could be generated from the unshielded grado cartridge.
