Audio-Technica Cartridges
Audio-Technica Cartridges are an old favourite – they seem particularly well suited to the Linn / Ittock combination and received countless excellent reviews in their time. None of Audio-Technica’s moving coil cartridges have replacement stylus or exchange value. Please note: Audio-Technica cartridges are not available outside the UK unless purchased with an arm or turntable.
