About the TK-7LCa MM

The Signet TK-7LCa is a vintage moving magnet cartridge manufactured by Signet, a brand associated with Audio Technica. It is renowned for its superb sound quality, featuring a highly polished Vivid Line Contact diamond stylus bonded to a thin-wall aluminum alloy tapered cantilever, which ensures long playing life and exceptional groove tracing. The cartridge delivers a full-bodied, harmonically vivid, and eloquent sound, making it one of the finest sounding cartridges in its class. It is highly regarded among audiophiles for its smooth, sharp, and detailed audio performance, with a mellow tonal balance that is pleasing to many listeners. Replacement styli are rare but can be sourced from specialist suppliers, and some users have successfully adapted Audio Technica AT-155Lc styli for near-original performance. The TK-7LCa is considered a classic from the golden age of analog cartridges, prized for its build quality and sonic characteristics.
