Audio Technica AT3600L Turntable Record Player Half Inch Moving Magnet Cartridge with Stylus

Product Information

Its capability to track grooves optimally brings forth the complex layers of music, rendering a gratifying listening encounter. The Super Analogue Stylus has a curvature with a smaller radius that was impossible with the Micro Ridge Stylus. While not the height of refinement, it manages to deliver a very entertaining sound without rough edges and with an overall balance that is, in my opinion, spot on. It is impressive for the money but, for me, it lacks the easy-going, charming personality of the AT3600L and is more ‘in your face’. For example, the rolloff you describe could originate from a "subsonic" type high pass filter in your phono stage.

SAS -Natural single-crystal, nude-mounted octahedral diamond stylus tip , The stylus tip is of optimum height and a uniformly ultra-precision finish. Audio Technica understands this balance and, thus, fabricates the ATN3600L stylus from rigid materials that can withstand the intense demands of record players. The spherical shaped stylus is the simplest and cheapest to produce and it is, therefore, the most common. Whether you need a versatile 4-in-1 remote or a duplicate that's as close as possible to the original, we've got you covered.In comparison, the AT3600L is designed to accommodate high mass pick-up arms so has a lower compliance, a conical stylus and a higher recommended tracking force of 3. If you've got one of these and would like to relate your experience with it in the thread, that'd be awesome.

The dynamic compliance of the ATN91 stylus is ~11 cu (at 10Hz), which puts it at the low end of medium-compliance. mil mono record groove, hence the tip will slide to the bottom of the groove where debris has collected for many decades. This faithful sound reproduction enhances your listening experience, providing an intimate connection with your music. This time, I used it on my Technics SL1200 Mk5 turntable in my main system, the set-up on which this review is based.

The lighter and stiffer the material, the better and more accurately the cantilever can transmit vibration. Increasing the capacitance setting to 250pF (giving a total of ~375pF) opens up the sound a little, adding crispness to the treble and bringing in more air, which some people may prefer. Also, my cat was asleep on the rug in front of the hi-fi rack the entire time, so your cat or lack thereof may affect your listening results. I've recently resurrected my vinyl after several years and the AT 3600L is new but has a rather brittle sounding high end.
