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.

Dynavector 20X2A Moving Coil Cartridge

The DV 20X2A is the base model in the Dynavector MC cartridge series, sharing the same core design as the higher-end XX-2A and Te Kaitora Rua models. It features a solid aluminum alloy body, hard aluminum cantilever, and Micro-Ridge stylus tip. You can choose between two types: the 20X2A-L (low output) for standard MC setups, or the 20X2A-H (high output) for most MM inputs. It's perfect for those who want the MC cartridge experience without needing an MC step-up transformer. High & Low Output Versions The 20X2A-H delivers a 2.8mV output thanks to Dynavector's renowned coil winding tech, making it compatible with MM inputs on your PHONO terminal without needing a head amp or step-up transformer. The 20X2A-L, with a 0.3mV output, uses the same high-quality PCOCC wires and works well with head amps and MC step-up transformers that have a load impedance of 30Ω or more. Special Annealing Magnetic Circuit The core of the MC cartridge, the magnetic circuit, is made from pure iron with stable, low-distortion magnetic properties. By fine-tuning the annealing process—adjusting temperature, environment, and heating/cooling times—we’ve achieved rich, resonant sound with exceptional clarity and minimal distortion. Neodymium magnets and soft magnets This series uses patented softened magnets to minimise distortion and harshness typically caused by rare earth magnets, while still delivering high output through powerful neodymium magnets. By harnessing neodymium's strong magnetic force, the cartridge ensures clear sound separation. Micro-Ridge Stylus The stylus tip features a Micro-Ridge design with a contact radius of just 2 microns. Its band-like shape makes it highly resistant to wear, ensuring optimal performance for an extended period. Compliance The 20X2A series, with a compliance of 12mm/N and a weight of 9.2g, works well with most light to medium-weight tonearms (lighter headshells are recommended).

Grado Prestige Green 3 T4P Moving Magnet Cartridge

Both the Black3 and Green3 use a three piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing.   The Green3 are hand selected from Black3 production runs which meet higher test specifications. Approximately 15% of the run usually exhibits these specs and become a Green3.   Grado’s OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal transfer of signal from the surface of the LP to the generator of the system. This technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the cartridge to a minimum.   Grado's OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously obtainable.

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.

Grado The Reference 3 Timbre Series Cartridge

Achieving fantastic accuracy and control, the Reference3 does everything the Master3 can do - but does it better thanks to specialized intricate processes while being crafted. While similar to its younger sibling in a few aspects, the Reference3 has a much longer build time since it undergoes extremely unique processes only a few of Grado's cartridges go through. This longer, more intricate practice produces a more colourful and deeper sound. When working in tandem with the special curing process and individual calibrations, they have the best cartridge in the Timbre Series.

Grado Sonata 3 Timbre Series Cartridge

The Sonata3 does everything the Platinum3 can do - but does it better thanks to an intricate processes while being crafted.

Grado Prestige Blue 2 Moving Iron Cartridge

Both the Blue2 and Red2 use a four piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing.   Grado's OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal transfer of signal from the surface of the LP to the generator of the system. This technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the cartridge to a minimum.   Grado's OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously obtainable.

Goldring E3 Moving Magnet Cartridge

The E3 cartridge, representing the top of the range features the same aluminium cantilever as the E2, but benefits from a superior, bonded, super-elliptical (0.3 x 0.7 mil) stylus. This gives it better high frequency detail retrieval over ordinary elliptical (0.4 x 0.7 mil) or spherical (0.6 mil) types due to its smaller front-to-back radius. The main effect is the reduction of sibilance, especially in high level vocal recordings.

Goldring E2 Moving Magnet Cartridge

The E2 cartridge, the middle in the range, features the same spherical stylus profile as the E1 but with the additional benefit of an upgraded aluminium cantilever. This is both stiff and light weight allowing the stylus to more accurately trace medium to high frequencies offering more detail and reducing distortion and mis-tracking during loud passages.

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.

Goldring G1022GX Moving Magnet Cartridge

The 1022GX cartridge is recommended for the discerning listener as it uses a vital-shank, nude, diamond stylus. This polyhedral, line-contact diamond 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. A large contact area means that stylus and record wear are reduced and because it plays lower down in the groove than spherical types, older records may well gain a new lease of life.

Goldring G1042 Moving Magnet Cartridge

This is a cartridge for the audiophile who demands the ultimate sonic performance from their system, together with the convenience of a user replaceable stylus. The 1042 uses a nude, natural-diamond stylus with a Gyger S profile. This is a revolutionary line-contact type which is shaped to more closely resemble the record cutting head than any previous design. The stylus profile is the main factor governing overall sound quality in a cartridge and the shape of the Gyger S with its 6 µm radius allows it to trace the smallest groove detail with complete fidelity. Mid-range tonality is incredibly accurate and precise with high frequency sibilance banished. The extended side wall contact of the Gyger-S diamond also gives the 1042 unsurpassed resolution of the fine groove modulations, producing an exceptionally detailed, smooth and musical sound.

Goldring G1006 Moving Magnet Cartridge

Advanced diamond tip polishing ensures excellent tracking ability and reduces record wear. Because it fills the record groove more completely due to its larger major radius, the Gyger II represents a major upgrade over normal elliptical stylus types.
