Audio-Technica’s supreme top-of-therange moving coil cartridge is based upon a titanium, aluminium and injection-moulded chassis construction. In a mere normal cartridge design, you have your moving coils positioned inside the chassis, sitting in position. Then you have a slim cantilever sticking out from the coils, with a stylus tip on the end. Not here. The coils are positioned on the other end. That is, the moving coils are positioned directly above the stylus tip without the need to transmit along the length of the cantilever. This close proximity between the coil movement and stylus tip enhances sonics. This shifting of the coils is innovative stuff that pretty much goes against the grain of the mainstream.
