AT7V
"Best of the Lot. Only the righteous few will hear the beautiful sound that is the AT7V. It comes directly from Japan through a direct purchase from LP Gear, but this is no new design.
It has been a favourite of the Japanese for decades. It has the body from the 150 series, but not the micro-line stylus. Even so, the nude diamond
has a very narrow shape of .2 x .7 mil. I takes what the 440MLa creates and smooths out the sound significantly. It's still there, but a violin should never
attack your ears, and with this cartridge they never will. The highs are complete without the exaggeration that so many carts tend to have (some reviewers like that attack). I want to hear the sound as it was played, not something artificially bright.
Should you desire you want the exaggerated sound, the 150MLX stylus will fit properly."1
"Being a synth player I'm often surprised how out of tune even expensive cartridges can sound when you hear musical riffs and arpeggios. Within about 30 seconds of listening to the AT7V it just sounded intrinsically correct. It was immediate."
"Sounds intrinsically and pitch correct unlike a lot of cartridges I've used over the years."
"As the Linn K9, it's a little gem that plays music."2
