About the ART20

The Audio-Technica AT-ART20 is a premium dual moving coil stereo cartridge featuring a magnetic core design that delivers exceptional vinyl playback with extraordinary musical realism. It incorporates dual moving coils aligned in an inverted “V” shape for optimal channel separation and superior stereo imaging. The cartridge body is crafted from precision-machined titanium combined with an aluminum base and an elastomer undercover to reduce resonance and mass. It uses a special line contact nude stylus with a solid boron cantilever (0.28 mm diameter) for premium high-frequency response and minimal inner-groove distortion. The stylus assembly is not user-replaceable, but Audio-Technica offers a fee-based exchange program. The AT-ART20 benefits from advanced Japanese eyeglass industry cutting and polishing technologies, resulting in a unique contoured design and improved magnetic flux density, increasing output voltage by over 15% to 0.55 mV without increasing coil turns. It includes accessories such as a non-magnetic screwdriver, brush, washers, multiple cartridge installation screws, and a protector. The cartridge is no longer widely
