Turntable Cartridges

About Turntable Cartridges

Turntable cartridges are a crucial component of any record player, responsible for converting the grooves on vinyl records into an electrical signal. This signal is then amplified and played through your speakers, making the cartridge a vital element in achieving high-quality sound.

There are different types of cartridges, including Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC). MM cartridges are known for their durability and ease of replacement, making them a popular choice for both new and experienced vinyl enthusiasts. MC cartridges, on the other hand, offer superior audio fidelity and are favoured by audiophiles for their precise sound reproduction. The weight of these cartridges ranges from 2.5 to 20 grams, allowing you to select a model that perfectly suits your turntable's tonearm.
