This is the latest version of the classic Audio Technica AT33 MC Cartridge range. The new 'x' update feature various refinements that take it to the next performance level. Key to this is a thinner and shorter cantilever which is made from gold plated Boron making it extremely light and stiff - perfect for transmitting the information from the grooves

The newly developed suspension mechanism uses piano wire for even better tracking accuracy, lowering the dynamic compliance slightly for more substantial audio, particularly in the mid-low range. This newly developed suspension mechanism and rubber damper design (with lower dynamic compliance than other A-T cartridges) enable the cartridge to be used with a variety of tonearms.

Two independent PCOCC coils are positioned at the cantilever’s fulcrum to ensure pure signal transmission for each channel - It's a dual moving coil design, featuring independent left and right coils, provides outstanding channel separation. The coils are wound from PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) copper.

The magnetic system features a Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke maximise energy efficiency for high-resolution, responsive playback.

The stylus is a nude (i.e. single piece) 'MicroLine' Diamond. This line contact profile is very highly polished which benefits both sound quality as well as reducing wear to itself (and the LP).

The body of the cartridge is made from a combination of materials including diecast zinc, aluminium and a high rigidity polymer, all with the aim of increasing rigidity and reducing resonance.
