nice heads up Mr T,
on ebay for £515 +15pnp
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/audio-technica-NEW-MC-cartridge-AT33PTG-II-/200539073821
(never used the seller - so caveat emptor n all that)
audio-technica AT33PTG/II
Pursued sound quality and weight saving.
Improved boron pure tapered cantilever and lighter vibration system.
High performance and life long Micro linear stylus(average 1000hours) .
Dramatically increased magnetic energy for neodymium magnet and permendur york.
PCOCC(Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting process) coil reproduces more purer sound.
High separation and wide response dual moving coil.
Anti-vibration designed Potassium titanate mixed rigid synthetic resin VC mold.
High rigidly body was designed aluminum alloy based rigid resin and anti-parasitic resonance.
Release Date: November 19 - edit: may be more up soon then!!
SPECIFICATION
Balanced output 0.5 dB (1kHz)
Coil Impedance 10 Ω (1 kHz)
Appropriate Stylus Pressure 1.8 - 2.2 g (2.0g Standard)
Output Voltage 0.3 mV (1kHz, 5cm/sec.)
Channel Separation 30 dB (1kHz)
Frequency Range at play 15 - 50,000 Hz
DC Resistance 10 Ω
Load resistance 100 Ω or more (head amp)
Coil Inductance 22 μ H (1kHz)
Static Compliance 40 × 10-6cm/dyne
Dynamic Compliance
10 × 10 -6 cm / dyne (100Hz)
Stylus Point Shape
Micro Linear (ML)
Cantilever Boron pure tapered
Vertical tracking angle: 23
Dimensions/ Weight
H16 × W16.6 × D26.5mm / 6.9g
the 'ev' is £446
I think I paid £235 all in (grrr customs) for my PTG, I pray the children never get interested in it... I must put up that TT wall shelf! (have to move to a solid wall though, heavied space deck)
