Description of Audio Technica AT OC9XSL Cartridge Special Contact

Dual Moving Coil design, featuring independent coils for both left and right channels, provides outstanding channel separation. The coils are aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation, which exerts less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. The cartridge body is pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted onto the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required. Features nude Special Line Contact stylus and boron cantilever with accurate tracking ability and high transient response. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provide dramatically increased magnetic energy. Aluminum body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and superior audio reproduction. Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer.

Outstanding Sound Quality!

This cartridge has phenomenal sound quality and the contact is superb. Through trial and error, I found that it performs best when used in conjunction with high-quality electronics .The clarity and sharpness of the music was outstanding and it really made my turntable come to life. The only downside is the price point but for those who are serious about their audio setup, this is a must-have investment..

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting with its special contact technology.
Cons
  • Requires a higher budget compared to other cartridge options in the market.

Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN

Always a fan of the Audio-Technica phono cartridge. Great value at $349. I have a $475 Hana elliptical and prefer this XEN to the Hana. I use a Micro Seiki MA-505S arm with great results. I look forward to purchasing the AT-OC9XSL. for my other player sometime in the future.

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • sad hardware
