The GTX S features a spherical diamond stylus and a unibody design made from a glass-fibre reinforced co-polymer—a ne…

The Ortofon Cadenza Red features a nude fine line stylus with a cylindrical aluminium cantilever. The stylus tip radius is r/R 8/40 µm. The coils are made from 6NX (99.9999 %) pure silver wire. An improved winding process on the armature allows a better channel balance.

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 …

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 …

The soundstage of the Cadenza Blue from Ortofon  is wide open and grandiose as soon as you take it out of the box.
