RE: Moving coil cartridge advice

LP Gear has an extraordinary deal on Audio Technica AT-OC9MLIIs for around $325. Audio Technica produces pickups of the highest quality; testing of pickups by Brit rag Hi-Fi News, available at http://milleraudioresearch.com/avtech/index.html, always show AT pickups with top measurements: low distortion, flat response, excellent channel balance, etc. That is not true for many even expensive pickups.

For around 200 more you can get into the OC9/III, which supposedly has slightly fuller low-end response; I love mine. The 33-series is supposed to have a mellower overall profile, but uses a straight elliptical stylus, not as quiet on older records as the OC9's ML-derived styli. My 9/III is extraordinarily quiet on used records.
