Moving magnet cartridges





The most common and compatible cartridges for modern day hifi are of the moving magnet type, and encompass the majority of what is available to the general public. Think Shure, Audio Technica, Pickering, Stanton, Empire, and numerous others, these will work with just about any amplifier and are readily available through several outlets,  DJ sources, whatever. Most have a fairly high output, and various specs and applications will determine the use.The stylus motion causes an attached magnet to move between coils of wire generating a small amount of current (millivolts) that is amplified by the preamplifier.
