Pro-Ject Pick it MC1 Moving Coil Cartridge

In their extensive research and development of True Balanced turntables and phono stages, Pro-Ject recognised the crucial role that Moving Coil (MC) cartridges play in achieving both sonic and mechanical excellence. Only with MC cartridges can you fully experience the technical advantages of a balanced connection, especially in terms of dynamics, soundstage, and, most notably, the quietness of the sound. However, manufacturing MC cartridges is more complex and costly compared to Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges. As part of Pro-Ject’s commitment to making high-quality HiFi stereo systems more accessible, they set out to create a more affordable MC cartridge—resulting in the Pick It MC1. The ultra-light stylus and coil assembly of an MC cartridge offer a wider frequency range and superior transient response. This translates to better detail, enhanced resolution of low-level signals, and improved overall clarity. The lower source impedance also reduces susceptibility to external interference, minimising hum. However, due to its lower output (typically around 20dB less than MM cartridges), it’s recommended to pair the MC1 with a high-quality phono stage for optimal performance. With the Pick It MC1, you’ll enjoy greater audio clarity, improved stereo imaging, and superior transparency compared to MM cartridges. The cartridge features a resonance-optimised ABS housing, weighing in at just 5 grams, and its medium compliance makes it an ideal match for most entry-level to mid-range turntables.

Pro-Ject Pick it MC2 Moving Coil Cartridge

During their in-depth research and development of True Balanced turntables and phono stages, Pro-Ject recognised the pivotal role that Moving Coil (MC) cartridges play in achieving both sonic and mechanical perfection. Only with MC cartridges can you fully take advantage of the technical benefits of a balanced connection—improving dynamics, expanding the soundstage, and, most notably, enhancing the quietness of the sound. However, the production of MC cartridges is far more intricate and costly than that of Moving Magnet (MM) cartridges. Staying true to their mission of making high-quality HiFi stereo systems more accessible, Pro-Ject introduced the Pick It MC2. The lightweight stylus and coil assembly of the MC cartridge enables a much wider frequency response and improved transient performance. This results in more detailed sound reproduction and a greater resolution of low-level signals. The lower source impedance of the MC cartridge also makes it less susceptible to external interference, resulting in reduced hum. However, because MC cartridges generally have a lower output—around 20dB less than MM cartridges—a high-quality phono stage is recommended to achieve the best performance. Fresh, Lively Sound Reproduction The new Pick It MC2 features an elliptical diamond mounted on an aluminium cantilever, delivering a richer tone and more nuanced details than the Pick It MC1. With an MC cartridge, you'll experience superior audio clarity, enhanced stereo imaging, and greater transparency compared to MM cartridges. The cartridge housing is made from resonance-optimised ABS, keeping the total weight at just 5 grams. With its medium compliance, the MC2 is a perfect match for most entry-level to mid-range turntables.  Pro-Ject also sought out the finest Japanese components for the most critical parts, including the diamond and cantilever. By combining these with an affordable, high-performance motor, all housed in a specially designed, resonance-free cabinet, the Pick It MC2 offers exceptional sound at an attractive price point.

Lyra Etna Mono Lambda Moving Coil Cartridge

This is a special, built-to-order, mono version of Etna λ Lambda for real mono playback of monaural/monophonic (mono) microgroove, vinyl records. It is recommended that the Etna λ Lambda Mono is used with high-gain, low noise phono stages, or alternatively a step-up transformer designed for phono cartridges of 2 - 3 ohms or less. On mono records, the vertical axis of the groove contains no musical information, but it will frequently have noise, in the form of groove damage and dirt. The Etna λ Lambda Mono has therefore been designed to be completely insensitive to the vertical axis, which greatly improves the signal/noise ratio without any downside on monaural records.

Lyra Etna SL Lambda Moving Coil Cartridge

Lyra again turns the analog world on its ear with the introduction of the Etna λ Lambda phono cartridge. Sharing its name with Sicily’s majestic Mount Etna, Etna λ Lambda the cartridge is an impressive monument in its own right, one that melds tried and true Lyra design tenets with designer Jonathan Carr’s very latest thinking on phono cartridges. Etna λ Lambda was designed with a strong emphasis on engineering efficiency, so that its performance would be as far beyond the sum of its parts as possible. For this reason, although it shares some of its design philosophy with Atlas λ Lambda, the concepts are executed rather differently.

Lyra Atlas SL Lambda Moving Coil Cartridge

The Atlas λ Lambda is Lyra’s new flagship phono cartridge. Why asymmetric? By literally misplacing the “barriers” to great sound that are present in every other cartridge today, a number of important performance benefits are realized. First, different-shaped structures on the left and right sides of the cartridge body suppress the formation of standing waves within, resulting in a significant reduction of resonance-induced colorations. Second, the asymmetric construction offsets the front magnet carrier and its associated mounting system so that it is no longer in line with the cantilever assembly. This opens up a direct, solid path between the cantilever assembly and tonearm head shell so that vibrations from the cantilever can be quickly drained away once they have been converted into electrical signals, again suppressing induced resonances.

Sumiko Blue Point No. 3 Moving Coil Cartridge

Recently, Sumiko made the decision to explore the resonance optimisation of the Blue Point No. 2 as they recognised there was room for refinement for this well-established cartridge. Resonance has a more significant impact than many listeners realise and Sumiko wanted to reimagine how the housing resonates around the generator in the Blue Point range. This resulted in the arrival of the new Blue Point No. 3. Key Features: High Output Moving Coil cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 micron Elliptical stylus Sound refinement of an MC with the output voltage of a typical MM design  Low-resonance body that's easy to install to any common tonearm Overhead mounting design High output for easy matching to a phono stage Easy to set-up and install

Dynavector DRT XV-1s Moving Coil Cartridge

The original XV-1 cartridge was designed to take the reproduction of analogue recording to new heights. The XV-1 achieved a standard of performance that was clearly in a league of its own. Dynavector have always remained indifferent to the endless digital formats that proport to be the next breakthrough in music reproduction, safe in the knowledge that the vast heritage of music recorded on vinyl can easily equal, if not clearly out perform these new formats. Dynavector are seriously committed to ensure the vinyl enthusiast is well catered for and the XV-1s is further proof of this on going commitment; yet another ground breaking product, uniquely Dynavector and flagship of the brilliant Dynavector cartridge range.

Goldring Ethos Moving Coil Cartridge

Ethos is a truly high-end cartridge featuring a vital-shank, nude-diamond stylus. This polyhedral, line-contact profile was chosen because it has a very low tip-mass and a large contact area whilst being very narrow from front to back; even enabling the undistorted retrieval of ultrasonic frequencies in a recording. In order to properly process this information, at the heart of the Ethos cartridge is Goldring's hand-built GOL-1 moving-coil generator. Featuring a hand-wound cross-shaped, soft-iron armature and married to a low resonance aircraft aluminium chassis, each one is precision tuned by expert craftsmen to achieve the best ever level of performance.

Lyra Kleos Moving Coil Cartridge

Although many MC cartridges have good performance, their sound is held back by how they are designed. The problem is, the signal coils should have the same angle as the magnetic circuit during playback, but MC cartridges are typically designed so that the opposite happens - applying normal tracking force pushes the coils out of alignment. This impairs coil sensitivity and linearity, and reduces sound quality.
