Taking the successful AT-ART7 even further into premium turntable playback for vinyl enthusiasts, the Audio-Technica Consumer AT-ART9XA is a flagship nonmagnetic core dual-moving-coil-cartridge designed for Hi-Fi playback systems, providing extremely natural and distortion-free sound quality with the ability to express precise sound fields inherent to non-magnetic core types.

Thanks to the redesigned coil armature, the AT-ART9XA achieves a higher output voltage of 0.2mV, overcoming the issue of low output found in traditional nonmagnetic cores. Extended frequency response and heightened separation are made possible by dual moving coils—configured in an inverted V shape—as well as the Shibata stylus and solid boron cantilever. The AT-ART9XA includes a complete hardware kit for easy installation to a headshell or integrated tonearm.

A: Yes, the Audio-Technica Consumer AT81CP Conical Phonograph Cartridge for P-Mount Turntables can be used as a replacement cartridge and stylus for the Technics SL-D20 Turntable. This conical version as well as the AT85EP Elliptical stylus can both be used. Elliptical will pick up more detail and less distortion due to being able to make contact with a larger groove area on a record's surface, however it also stands to wear down more quickly than a conical stylus.

Q: 10. Will this cartridge replace my Technics SL-L2 turntable cartridge?

A: The pmount carts are supposed to work with this and other pmount arms. I bought this as it was a successor cart to the AT cart on my table. Also theyre supposed to be the same weight so you dont have to worry about tracking force etc. No new screw came with mine. But you unscrew the one on the old cart unplug that one, plug in the new one, put in the screw and youre done. Working well.
