Expect “the highest audiophile listening experience.”

Audio-Technica has unveiled its latest moving coil cartridge. Priced at a Herculean $6999, the AT-ART1000 is handcrafted in Japan and is the outcome of 54 years in cartridge design.

The product uses a direct-power system with the moving coil placed directly on top of the stylus tip, which A-T says, enables the tracing of super subtle sonic detail and “unsurpassed transient response”.

As What Hi-Fi explains, the AT-ART1000 features a diamond stylus construction that apparently has the ability to track even the most complex record groove. The core coil itself is non-magnetic with 3 ohms impedance whilst the body structure is made of titanium, which provides strong acoustic audio reproduction.

Yousuke Koizumi of Audio Technica’s Japan division said:

“We found some inspiration in the renowned Victor MC-L1000 cartridge of 1986 and charged our research and design engineers to imagine a Direct Power System of unsurpassed levels of precision and sophistication. I’m pleased to say we have achieved everything we set out to do. Our AT-ART1000 is truly the landmark cartridge we wanted to make.”

The AT-ART1000 is available from fifty selected retailers worldwide in June.

Don’t forget that when it comes to playback quality, the choice of cartridge is just as important as the amp, loudspeakers and the deck itself.
