Audio-Technica AT-ART20 Moving-Coil Cartridge $2900 Review

A-T claims a channel separation of 30dB at 1kHz, a frequency response of 20Hz to 50kHz, an output voltage of a healthy 0.55mV (1kHz at 5cm/sec), and an overall weight of 9.3gm. The suggested load impedance is >100 ohms, with a recommended tracking force in the range of 1.6–2.0gm. Average compliance figures and moderate mass suggest this cartridge would be easy to accommodate in a variety of high-quality, medium-mass tonearms such as SME and Origin Live.
It’s worth noting that the stylus tip of the ART20 is some way forward in the body, which could present a problem for arms with insufficient front/rear alignment. The SME Series IV tonearm I used had no problem with this, but SME arms are among the most flexible in the world in terms of mounting position and adjustment.
