About the MC6310

The MC-6310 is a high-end moving coil (MC) phono cartridge crafted by Audio Tekne, known for its fast, articulate, and detailed sound with well-controlled bass and dynamic performance despite its low output voltage of 0.1mV at 5cm/sec 1kHz. The cartridge body is milled from a solid block of a special carbon material with excellent damping properties, contributing to its wide soundstage and superb channel separation. It uses an aluminum-magnesium alloy (AlMg5) cantilever with a 0.6 mil elliptical stylus, high-purity copper coil wire, and a samarium cobalt magnet. The MC-6310 requires careful handling due to its 'nude' cantilever design without a stylus guard and benefits from a high-quality step-up transformer for optimal performance. It has a stylus pressure range of 1.5 to 2.0 grams and an impedance of 2.0 ohms. The cartridge is noted for its smooth, lush, and expansive sound, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking detailed resolution and a wide, immersive soundstage. It was originally
