AUDIO-TECHNICA AT-ART9 MC PHONO CARTRIDGE 0.5 mV
- Hearing a thousand glorious notes and blank spaces

The AT-ART9 is Audio-Technica's flagship moving-coil cartridge. Combining the craftsmanship, artistry and leading-edge engineering derived from the AT50ANV, AT-ART7 and AT-OC9/III cartridges, the AT-ART9 employs a vibration system and magnetic circuit that are the best-ever within the series thus resulting in exquisitely transparent and naturally complete sound quality. It is so startlingly honest that your ears convey to your right brain and it comes to a singularly quick conclusion - this is real music at its best. Just like the body knows real sugar from processed substitute. Still, it will throw you off - until your left brain processes this truth, logically, deductively and empirically.

 

Its new magnetic circuit design adopts permendur yoke and neodymium magnet for dramatically increased magnetic energy, extremely low noise and improved bass response.

Special line contact stylus with tip curvature radii of 40μm 7μm adopted in AT50ANV and solid boron cantilever with a 0.26 mm diameter allow accurate transfer of music signals from the stylus tip to the generating coil.

Dual moving coil for high separation and wide response.

Hybrid body inherited from the AT-ART7 cartridge design to suppress unwanted parasitic and deleterious resonances. The housing is made of machined aluminum materials to dissipate parasitic resonances for unimpeded sound quality and clarity.

PCOCC coil wiring for direct and pure signal transmission

High-quality brass screws for headshell attachment offers the best match for optimal sound quality.

Tunes in my house

We inherited an old turntable, which seemed to be useless, couldn’t get any albums to play properly. Decided to try a new needle. I used the free service to help you find the correct choice. It was shipped and packaged very well. And lo and behold we have beautiful music playing. I am beyond happy! And the prompt responses to help with selecting the right one was a pleasant surprise. Great customer service! Thank you

Terrance Galuska (Indianapolis, US)
New Life!

I purchased the SAS stylus for a p mount Shure 110HE cartridge for my Technics SL-M3. Before this stylus upgrade the cartridge was lifeless. With the upgrade it sounds amazing! Almost as good as my go to Cartridge which is a Technics EPC-310MC. Amazing quality and quick shipping from LP tunes

CARBON FIDELITY CFT4PSE cartridge

I have an old Onkyo turntable and not a clue what cartridge I needed. LP Tunes has great customer service! I sent some photos of what I had and they gave me two good suggestions. I chose the Carbon Fidelity CRT4PSE. It fit perfectly and I have been enjoying my vinyl once again! My collection is old but the sound is great!!
