Turntable Cartridges

The Corus2 is the 2nd generation design of the celebrated Corus cartridge. It represents a significant upgrade in terms of both technology and sound quality. Employing a new VM arrangement utilising two small magnets – one for each channel – in a V configuration (instead of the heavier single magnet found in other moving magnet cartridges.)

Even the finest diamond stylus becomes worn after an extended period of play.The styli for the VM cartridges are no different. But it is easy to replace the stylus and continue to use your cartridge. The new VM cartridges have 7 styli and 3 types of bodies to choose from. Not only is it not necessary to buy an entirely new cartridge but you can also enjoy the experience of upgrading your stylus or trying a new cartridge/stylus combination.

The Ortofon 2M Black is graced with a Shibata diamond stylus – the same diamond as on the acclaimed MC Jubilee. Its slim highly polished profile allows an exceedingly wide contact area to the groove walls and ensures notably detailed reproduction throughout the spectrum including even the most high frequency groove information.

Easily SUMIKOs most ambitious moving magnet cartridge to date the Amethyst features a nude line-contact stylus and an upgraded generator assembly providing ultra-low noise hair-raising dynamics and superior tracking. This unique setup benefits from the same physically-generated electromotive forces fundamental to MM designs which accurately recreate the original sound of any recording.

Replacement stylus for the 2M Black LVB 250 moving magnet cartridge which is designed for precise and accurate retrieval of the information on the record groove.

The Quintet Black S is graced with a Nude Shibata diamond considered one of the best stylus profiles available mounted on a high-performance Boron cantilever. The MC Quintet Series is congruent with Ortofons unrelenting commitment to providing the most precise and accurate reproduction possible without coloration. 

Featuring a special line contact stylus on a 0.28 mm diameter solid boron cantilever the AT-ART9XI replaces the AT-ART9 as Audio-Technicas flagship magnetic core MC cartridge. The "ART" in the model number stands for Audio-Technica Reference Transducer a designation that they give only to their flagship phono cartridges. The specially designed magnetic circuit boasts an output voltage of 0.5 mV (1 kHz 5 cm/sec) making the cartridge easy to use and capable of reproducing even the most delicate expressions while also ensuring dynamic playback. The dual moving coils (fashioned from high-performance PCOCC wire) are aligned in an inverted V shape to provide high separation and wide response for clear …

An update of the AT-ART7 the AT-ART9XA non-magnetic core MC cartridge features a Shibata stylus on a 0.28 mm diameter solid boron cantilever. The "ART" in the model number stands for Audio-Technica Reference Transducer a designation Audio Technica give only to their flagship phono cartridges. Compared with the magnetic core used in most MC cartridges non-magnetic core cartridges are free from magnetic distortion allowing for natural timbre and a precise sound field. Although conventional non-magnetic cores struggle with output voltage the AT-ART9XA features a newly designed coil armature with an improved output voltage of 0.2 mV (1 kHz 5 cm/sec). The dual moving coils (fashioned from high-performance …

The soundstage of the Cadenza Blue from Ortofon  is wide open and grandiose as soon as you take it out of the box. The Cadenza Blue employs a Nude FG 70 stylus with a very thin ruby cantilever and the improved winding process of the armature ensures better channel balance than any model that came before it.
