AT-OC9/III
The Audio-Technica AT-OC9 III AT-OC9/III phono cartridge is one
of the finest moving coil cartridges made. It is
manufactured extremely well in Japan and is very reliable. Its
performance is both world class and top class. It is one
of the cartridges of choice for the Linn LP12 with Ittock arms
and we just love them on everything else too!.
However, the AT-OC9ML/II is one of the worlds most tolerant
cartridges, and has all the benefits of being moving coil, read
the many reviews on the net? Our low price is no more than
the USA Dollar price, plus 5% import duty, 17.5% VAT.

How do we get that price?
We love Audio Technica and we buy a shed load of stuff from
them. They seem to like us too, so we get the best
possible price, and 'cos we are nice guys, we pass this on to
you!
Dave Cawley the owner of Sound Hi Fi explains " I have always
loved moving coil cartridges and had one of the first Dynavector
Ruby Karat in 1980, I was hooked! The OC9 is a world class
cartridge and we did a deal with Audio Technica, you can see by
the box label we buy in bulk! We believe in the OC9 so
much, that we even have Clearaudio deliver their award winning
Emotion turntable without a cartridge, so you can choose your
own, and what better choice than the OC9 ? "
These cartridges
are supplied by Audio Technica UK and guaranteed by Sound Hi Fi
and Audio Technica UK, no grey imports here!!
