AUDIO-TECHNICA AT-OC9XEB MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE

Since their introduction more than 30 years ago, Audio-Technica’s AT-OC9 Series moving coil (MC) phono cartridges have been acclaimed by listeners and reviewers worldwide for their exceptional sound quality and musical transparency. At HIGH-END Munich 2019, Audio-Technica is introducing its AT-OC9X Series, the fourth generation of this legendary range of cartridges.

"When the first AT-OC9 cartridge was introduced in 1987 it integrated previously unavailable engineering innovations with carefully chosen materials to achieve a breakthrough in sound quality," said Yosuke Koizumi, Chief Engineer of Cartridges at Audio-Technica Japan. "Since then, we have continued to improve the cartridges. Our latest AT-OC9X Series embodies the culmination of over 50 years of cartridge manufacturing experience to deliver new levels of record-playback quality and musical enjoyment."

Each OC9X model features a host of improvements including a new Dual Moving Coil structure, which enables the audio information in the record grooves to be separated to the left and right channels with pinpoint accuracy. This improved channel separation results in a more precise stereo image and wider frequency response.

AT-OC9X Series cartridges are available with a choice of stylus types including Special Line Contact (AT-OC9XSL), Shibata (AT-OC9XSH), microlinear (AT-OC9XML), nude elliptical (AT-OC9XEN) and bonded elliptical (AT- OC9XEB). The Special Line Contact, microlinear, and Shibata stylus models have been upgraded with a boron cantilever, while the nude elliptical and elliptical cartridges feature an aluminum cantilever. These materials were carefully selected to keep unwanted vibrations to a minimum and to reduce internal resonances for clearer, more detailed audio reproduction.

Hello, I have a 1969 Gerrard SL95-B turntable wood base which I can stack 5 LP's. This needle replacement SHURE N-75EJ/ 2. What I enjoy about this needle it does not bend, after the tone arm is on top of 5 records the needle keeps it's position and doesn't bend . The quality sound is great. I have spent alot of money on other needles that the sound isn't clean and wears out very fast. I play my music records daily for hours.

It was easy to install and sounds great!

A Must Upgrade

I've purchased this stylus and I have been listening for about a month now. My first impressions was "wow!" The original stylus that I had wasn't actually shot but just thought maybe it time to replace it just because, and I'm glad I did. By replacing with the new stylus I was able to hear things that I've never knew it exist from some tracks. It's more crisp, clarity, and detailed. This vintage Stanton 681eee with this new shibata stylus are a great sound piece. I just sure hope this item won't be discontinued or else I'll be sad. Cheers!

The staff was excellent. I was able to order over the phone and the needle makes my music sound grat.

That's perfect.

I needed a stylus for a vintage Pickering. Perfect fit, great performance. Yeah for durable goods!

Had the needle for my 35yr old phonograph. Amazing thank you.
