Audio-Technica AT33PTG/2 Dual Moving Coil Cartridge with MicroLinear Stylus

The Audio-Technica AT33PTG/2 is a refined dual moving coil phono cartridge from the long-running AT33 series, a line prized by analog enthusiasts for decades. Pairing a MicroLinear stylus with a tapered boron cantilever, it delivers exquisite, full-range audio reproduction with a particular gift for high-frequency finesse — air, sparkle, and inner-groove detail that lesser profiles blur.

The advanced tapered boron cantilever and reduced coil weight lower moving mass, improving audio quality especially in the upper frequencies. A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke dramatically enhance magnetic energy, while PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting) coil wire enables exceptionally pure signal transfer from groove to phono stage. The high-separation, wide-response dual moving coil generator produces the precise stereo imaging the AT33 series is known for.

As a low-output moving coil design, the AT33PTG/2 pairs with a moving coil phono input, step-up transformer, or head amplifier — Audio-Technica recommends a load impedance of more than 100 ohms when a head amplifier is connected. For listeners ready to hear what their record collection is truly capable of, this cartridge is a reference-grade destination.
