Description
Audio-Technica MC Phono Cartridge Features a Shibata Line-Contact Stylus: Japanese-Made AT33a Plays with Supreme Purity, Naturalism, and Tonal Balance
Featuring a Shibata line-contract stylus, the Audio-Technica AT33a C phono cartridge specializes in superb high-frequency resolution, fast transient responsiveness, and taut, focused bass sound. Mounted on a tapered boron cantilever featuring a double damper for reduced weight and enhanced sonics, the stylus complements dual moving coils to deliver wowing levels of separation, dynamics, and imaging. AT33a's neodymium magnet, permendur yoke, VC mold, and PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) further this magnificent musical instrument's purity, naturalism, and tonal integrity. With AT33a in your analog chain, the potential of vinyl LPs will seem nearly limitless.
