AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-AD900 HEADPHONES

2011 Headphones of the Year by Reviewed.com, division of USA TODAY

The Audio-Technica ATH-AD900 offers a wide-open soundstage, extended frequency response, precision accuracy and comfortable listening for long hours - perfect for in-house critical listening, recording and enjoyment when you want a full sound quality experience.

A step above the highly renowned ATH-AD700 open-air headphones, the ATH-AD900s feature lighter perforated honeycomb aluminum casings and magnesium frame structure that produce no sense of pressure on the ear, offering a completely natural listening experience. The sound is smooth and relaxed, with deep resonating bass and vocal projection. They are so superior that they have received the 2011 Headphones of the Year award by Reviewer.com. Headphones were compared in terms of design, sound quality, isolation, comfort and usability.

The ATH-AD900 headphones feature proprietary large-aperture 53 mm drivers with neodymium magnet systems and CCAW voice coils. Equipped with A-T's innovative self-adjusting wing support mechanism that automatically adjusts to your head size, the headphones offer long hours of remarkably comfortable listening. An OFC cord with elastomer sheath prevents entanglement.

The little stylus that could..and then some!

When I got this I thought I had overspent and had just paid 150 bucks for the 70 dollar model with a stylus guard. I was hoping for the best, expecting mehh, and got the closest to sonic nirvana I've yet to experience! I am simply a music lover, I haven't the experience or the budget to be an audiophile , but wow this little cartridge can sing! I have the carbon fidelity, the nss divine, this is noticeably better even to my untrained ears. If you are using the at3600 cartridge, strongly consider this stylus before you change to a different cartridge. It really is that good!

Needles

Excellent quality
Prompt delivery and tracking.

New Belt

Turntable belt fits perfectly as described!

Stylus for Soundesign 6821 turntable

Soundesign stylus Mdel 6821

Stylus fit, the weight was light i ended up having to use a similar stylus that was heavier and for an Emerson.
The lighter stylus allowed the arm to float across the album.

Works good

D51 type stylus works fine

Looks & Sounds like the Original

Arrived well packed although I was concerned that it didn’t have the little cover over the needle that a new stylus often has. But once installed it sounded good!

Thorens Replacement Belt

Belt is more robust than old belt. Highly recommended.

Giant Killer

If you have an OM body, base or Super, you owe it to yourself to get this stylus. It plays WAY above its price range! I am still breaking it in, but wow! On new vinyl it is dead quiet. No pops, background noise or hisses. Plays music from top to bottom without me missing any midrange.
I have 3 different versions of these, shure n75ed2, at 3600l, now this ortofon version which could become my favorite. Buy these and get a good phono stage ( I am using an old nad 7140) and stop worrying about expensive cartridges! An absolute jem!
