What we liked

  • + Sold by Audio-Technica as a dedicated DJ cartridge, from a long-established cartridge brand
  • + Two screw lengths (11 mm and 8 mm), washers and nuts are included to suit different headshells
  • + A non-magnetic screwdriver comes in the box, so you do not need extra tools for the install

Trade-offs

  • - The listing has almost no specifications: no output level, stylus shape or tracking force is given
  • - Cartridge only, with no headshell in the box, so you mount and align it yourself
