the Ear.net 2017 product of the year

Audio Technica AT-ART1000 key features:

• Direct power system (The moving coil si placed directly above the stylus tip)
• Special line contact diamond tip stylus and a solid boron cantilever
• Non-magnetic core coil, a 20 μm diameter PCOCC wire wound eight turns to a diameter of 0.9 mm is used
• Despite being a non-magnetic core type, an output voltage of 0.2 mV is obtained by placing a 3 ohms coil in the minuscule 0.6 mm gap of a powerful magnetic circuit
• Titanium body
• Polymer cover and aluminium housing
• Cartridge rebuild service available
