{"product_id":"audio-technica-at-art-1000-mc-cartridge-1","title":"Audio Technica AT-ART 1000 MC Cartridge","description":"The Audio-Technica AT-ART1000 is a reference-tier moving coil MC cartridge featuring a special line contact stylus, 0.26 mm solid boron cantilever, 0.2 mV output, 3 ohm coil impedance, 15 Hz to 30,000 Hz frequency response, and an 11 g mass. This radical design utilizes a unique Direct Power System that places the coils directly on top of the stylus tip. By bypassing the cantilever length, it eliminates traditional phase and resonance issues. Crafted for elite turntables, it delivers unprecedented transient response, exceptional channel separation, and a stunning level of midrange transparency.\n\nCritical consensus earned it a CES Innovation Honoree award and an elite Class A rating in Stereophile Recommended Components, praising its technological edge and ethereal clarity. Reviewers marvel at its flawless record tracing and ability to render vocals with staggering accuracy. While its low output requires a quiet, high-gain phono stage, critics agree the sonic payoff is immense, delivering a highly refined and deeply three-dimensional analog presentation.\n\nInvesting in a component of this caliber is about pursuing uncompromised musical truth. By placing the signal generation at the exact point of contact, it removes the acoustic veil inherent in typical designs. For the serious enthusiast seeking a definitive statement piece to unlock the absolute pinnacle of detail from a cherished vinyl collection, it stands as an unrivaled benchmark in modern analog engineering.","brand":"Audio Technica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67617324663065,"sku":"100321","price":2699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/100321-7.jpg?v=1790882740","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/audio-technica-at-art-1000-mc-cartridge-1","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
