Audio-Technica AT-ART1
The Audio-Technica AT-ART1 opened the brand's ART line and belongs to the high end class. Its low 0.35 mV output requires a dedicated MC phono input or a step up transformer. The MicroLine stylus tracks from 1.4 to 1.8 g with 1.6 g nominal. The stylus is integrated, so a worn diamond means a retip.

Additional Info
The Audio-Technica AT-ART1 defines each instrument with surgical detail inside a wide, precise soundstage, its MicroLine tip riding a diamond-coated boron cantilever. Dynamics and channel separation come strong, giving music a controlled, punchy feel that leans analytical rather than forgiving. Clean pressings and revealing systems bring out its best. The stylus is integrated, so wear leaves retipping as the only route.
