One of the best MC options under $500

Decent upgrade to the Denon 103R. I have a very light arm that can't take full advantage of the 103R. 33ptg2 is better. The Denon was bassier and warmer. Depending on your taste, this can be good or bad. But Audio Technica has a lot more detail and depth. When done right, the realism and presence are impressive. It's not as bright as other AT cars. They really flattened the top. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Positive reviews only
Cons
  • Small things

Great cartridge in Turntables & Accessories

I read a lot of good reviews about this cartridge before I bought it so I had high expectations and it exceeded them. After a 50 hour hiatus the pickup has a very good balance of deep, tight bass and sparkling highs and tracks whatever I put on it very well. I use it with the PS Audio Nuwave Phono Converter as a moving coil preamp and to create pickup vinyl rips that sound fantastic. I would recommend this cartridge to anyone who has the right tonearm.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Medical cartridge.

This cartridge will cure you of nervous audiophilia and worry about your gear. happened to me It makes you grateful for what you have and stops wondering what else you need. It's a miracle.

I now use the economical Denon Sut (tried other popular ones but the buzzing also occurred) and it's a whistle only. The more I listen to this pickup, the less I care about the equipment, which is not an easy task. It…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Hard to believe that this cartridge can be beat!

I use Thorens 126 Mk III and Dynavector 505. Electronics - German AVM, homemade Fostex speakers modified by Klipsch type Eckhorns. In this environment the AT33PTG/II delivers a lively, natural and breathable reproduction with crystal clear and well defined high frequencies (especially with percussive instruments like RCA's "Bang, Barroom and Harp" or the completely natural finger snapping on Ulla's instrument). my corner). "The Dancer"), excellent channel separation and perfect reproduction of…

Possibly the best cartridge at any price.

This is the best cartridge I have ever heard and tested. Comparable to Soundsmith Hyperion MK II, Lyra Delos, Dynavector 17D3, Audio Technica ART9, Sumiko Blackbird, Audio Technica OC9II, Audio Technica AT150MLX, Ortofon 2M Black, Shure V15V-MR, Shure V15VxMR, Shure M97xE, Sumiko Blue Point No. 2, Audio Technica At440MLa, Audio Technica VM540ML. In my experience, Audio Technica has the best build quality of any brand I've tried, including their budget models. The booms are always parallel to…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
