Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Turntable Parts
Current times in Hi-Fi have brought many boutique high performance and even higher cost cartridges to the market. Audio Technica could offer a 400 level College course in designing and manufacturing all types of phono cartridges including high performance MC versions because they have done it for so long and built so many. The OC9 III is their cost performance leader. It offers at least all the wonderful sonic qualities of competition two to three times it's list price and in many cases it can be purchased for well below list. Spend $3K if you wish but you may some day discover that this $700 " back up " performs better.

Long time favorite cartridge in the $500+ range now being discounted as newer version has been released. Got this one for $400 and that's a steal compared to new one at $549 as new one is maybe 5% better sound. New model does have threaded holes for screws (this one does not) so it is a little more fiddly to set up but well worth the savings. Bottom line - at $400 and $100+ in savings it is getting 5 stars!
