Audio-Technica: AT33SA Moving Coil Cartridge

📌LAB POINTS

• dual moving coil cartridge (MC) w/ Shibata line-contact stylus
• delivers exquisite, full-range audio reproduction w/ wide response + high separation
• precision-cast hard aluminum alloy body enhances rigidity and the signal-to-noise ratio
• VC mold limits unnecessary vibration
  
• tapered boron cantilever + reduced coil weight improve audio quality, particularly in higher frequencies
• Neodymium magnet and permendur yoke dramatically enhance magnetic energy
• PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coil enables pure signal transfer
  
• silver finish housing

"The AT33Sa is the first Audio-Technica moving coil cartridge to feature a Shibata line-contact stylus, known for its superior high-range performance and strong mid and bass sound. The stylus is mounted on a tapered boron cantilever with a double damper for reduced weight and better audio quality. The cartridge’s dual moving coils provide excellent channel separation and are affixed within a strong but lightweight VC mold to greatly reduce unwanted vibration." - Audio-Technica
