About Signet (by Audio Technica)

Signet was a high-fidelity audio brand established by Audio-Technica, targeting the premium phono cartridge market. Introduced as Audio-Technica’s flagship moving magnet (MM) line, Signet featured advanced stylus and cantilever technologies, including models with gold-plated beryllium and ruby cantilevers. Their cartridges, notably the AM, TK, and MR series, were marketed primarily in higher-end audio stores and became known for superior build quality and sound accuracy. Production of Signet-branded cartridges ceased years ago, making them collectible items, with replacement parts now difficult to source and mostly available as new-old stock or aftermarket options. Signet remains highly regarded among audiophiles for its classic design and engineering excellence.
