About the AT33Sa
The AT33Sa is Audio-Technica's first moving coil cartridge to feature a Shibata line-contact stylus, known for its exquisite full-range audio reproduction and precise groove tracing. It uses an advanced tapered boron cantilever with a double damper to reduce weight and improve audio quality, especially in higher frequencies. The cartridge incorporates dual moving coils for excellent channel separation, housed in a vibration-resistant VC mold to minimize unwanted resonance. It employs a neodymium magnet and permendur yoke to dramatically enhance magnetic energy, and PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coils for pure signal transfer. The precision-cast hard aluminum alloy body enhances rigidity and signal-to-noise ratio. The stylus assembly is not field-replaceable, but Audio-Technica offers a fee-based Moving Coil Exchange Program for servicing. The cartridge is designed for standard half-inch mount tonearms and requires a compatible moving coil phono preamp input.
