Hear the Difference a Nude Elliptical Stylus, Aluminum Cantilever, and Neodymium Magnet Make in Playing LPs: Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN Dual Moving-Coil Cartridge Is a High-End Bargain

The Audio-Technica AT-OC9XEN dual moving-coil cartridge is proof you needn't spend a fortune to enjoy engaging analog sound. While offered at an entry-level audiophile price point, the Japanese-designed instrument runs circles around stock cartridges and most sub-$500 models thanks to its quiet operation, excellent tracking, and high-grade construction. Once it hits the grooves of your LPs, you'll get a definite sense of the detail, dynamics, warmth, and tonality for which analog is renowned. And you'll get closer to the music you love and have endless fun doing so.

On AT-OC9XEN, a nude elliptical stylus and aluminum cantilever combine to reduce unwanted vibration, while a neodymium magnet and pure iron yoke deliver increased energy. Featuring Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting (PCOCC) coils aligned in a reverse V-shaped formation for both the left and right channels, AT-OC9XEN delivers remarkable channel separation and plays with ultra-low distortion. And with AT-OC9XEN, setup is easy. Its pre-threaded body means the cartridge can be mounted onto the headshell or tonearm with just two screws. A non-magnetic screwdriver, two washers, installation screws, plastic protector, and brus come with the package.
