Overview Audio-Technica AT-OC9XML Moving Coil Cartridge Audio-Technica AT-OC9XML Moving Coil Cartridge Sumiko Olympia Moving Magnet Cartridge Sumiko Olympia Moving Magnet Cartridge
Summary
AT-OC9XML Dual moving coil stereo cartridge with Microlinear stylus - Features nude Microlinear stylus and boron cantilever, neodymium magnet and permendur yoke for increased magnetic energy and features threaded inserts in the cartridge body.
 
Key Features:
  • Features nude Microlinear stylus and boron cantilever which provides lower distortion and high transient response
  • A neodymium magnet and permendur yoke provides dramatically increased magnetic energy
  • Threaded inserts in the cartridge body enable the cartridge to be mounted on to the headshell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required 
  • Aluminium body minimizes unwanted vibration for reduced resonance and a superior audio reproduction
  • Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process (PCOCC) is used for the coils to achieve pure signal transfer 

The Olympia brings another level of acoustic refinement to the mix with an upgraded stylus and cantilever assembly, allowing for more dynamic punch and improved frequency response during playback. Due to its improved tracking capabilities, the Olympia is an excellent return on investment when upgrading from the Rainier cartridge, and can even be upgraded to the capable Moonstone stylus further on down the line.
