Detailed and punchy sound
My monster Alpha 2 failed so after reading many reviews decided to order one of these. I have a Micro Benz Silver , a Dynavector 10x5 and a Denon 103 to compare. The Dynavector is too percussive and not natural. The Denon is smooth but rolled off at the extremes. The Micro Benz sounds nice but not nearly as detailed as the AT33. My Monster Alpha 2 had a super deep soundstage with the ET2 arm. The AT33 is almost as deep but much more detailed and punchy. There is a synthesizer at the beginning of one song that could not be heard with any of the other cartridges. Its a tiny bit bright but I haven't loaded it down at all. Excelent for rock Jazz and Acoustic. Love it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Smooth and silky sound!
Audio-Technica manufactures outstanding phono cartridges that out perform just about everything in their price range. This cartridge is no exception. Solid and quiet throughout the audio spectrum, it often has me thinking I'm in the studio with the musicians. I'd compare it to the Ortofon 2M Black, but seems a bit stronger with the mid to low frequencies. This is my first low output MC and still breaking in, but I'm confident that the sound is only going to get better. At this price, it's an absolute steal!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

AT33PTG/II MC Cartridge
Sound very close like my old AT OC9. It was 30 years young. This new has more tight bass and treble more realistic. Alltheway fine cartridge. Hope it last next 30 years.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great MC Cart
The AT33PTG II is a great cart that is reminiscent of the mid-forward house sound that Audio Technica is known for. The detail retrieval is good and the bass is excellent. Compared to the OC9xml it is less bright sounding and a bit less flat, however I would not describe it as colored or "fun sounding". Setup with this cart is a bit trickier as well since the body of the cart is not threaded like the OC9xml and seems to require the faces of the screws to be mounted on the underside of the headshell. I tried it on a couple of record players and found that aligning it was a lot more trial and error than I was used to. After a few tries I was finally able to get the channels balanced within +- 2 decibels. Both the tables I use were pretty much maxed on overhang for baerwold. Lofgren was not possible, and I personally don't like Stevenson, so your mileage may vary with regard to setup.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent cartridge
This cartridge produces great sound for the discriminating listener. First off, most people do not have perfect acoustics in their listening room, the best system ever produced or the best turntable available at any price. But if you have really good stuff but haven’t invested your life savings in your equipment, you should be thrilled by the sound quality. Since it is a low output mc cartridge you are going to need a good pre-amp, preferably an adjustable one, suited for a mc cartridge. Basically it is going to be a better sounding cartridge than many listeners ever dreamed of. If you’ve been buying $6000 cartridges you might be disappointed but if you’re in the market for an excellent cartridge in the $200 to $1000 range, you’re probably going to be very happy with it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

AT33PTG offers great tone.
While it’s not a high output MC cartridge, which are what I’ve been using, the clarity and full range of music plus lack of noise I hear from this cartridge makes me wonder why I didn’t try one before. A definite step up from the Denon 110 I had before and well worth the $.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A classic for the modern age
The AT33 cartridges have been around for a long time now. They have a special place with me because they mate very well with REGA turntable/tonearms as they don't need spacers. They are only 16mm tall! The AT33PTG/II is the top of the range with it's nude Micro-Line stylus mounted on a tapered gold plated Boron Cantilever. Mounted on my REGA P6 turntable with a REGA RB-330 tonearm, it's sound would be best described as refined, clean, polished. It's not overly bright like some AT cartridges yet, the bass is very tight and well defined. The Micro-Line stylus, while requiring very careful, time consuming alignment, rewards you with flawless tracking and smooth, distortion-free tracing of those fickle inner grooves. I highly recommend this Low Output Moving Coil cartridge to ALL REGA turntable owners!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

An anticipated improvement in sound quality yet to come...!
I have still to set up this MC cartridge but fully anticipate it will be a step up from my already excellent AT VM 540 ML (MM). I don't intend buying another MC after the AT33 PTG/mk2 now sadly discontinued and in very short supply. Read Ashley's blog on "Audio Appraisal" for an unbiased view of this cartridge - he is always correct with his recommendations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Lush sounding cartridge
Very happy with the sound of this cartridge, and, theoretically, it hasn't even broken in yet. Unbelievable bass tracking, yet clean and clear through the mids and highs. Just a wonderful, lush sound that I have never heard with my MM carts.

Nice cart, worth the price.
This cartridge really lives up to the specifications. A neutral cart, not bass heavy or too bright. Soundstage is amazing. Very much a high separation of instruments and vocals. They do not get blended together. The microline stylus is very quite in the groove. I am inspired to move up to an ART-9 when this wears out. The quality of the product looks substantial.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
