AT 155LC and AT 160ML

They both have the same 490mH generator and they both weigh 8.3g.

The 155 has a line contact and the ML is micro line.

Both - output 5mV.  DC 790. Impedance 3.2K.

Compliance is higher on the 155 - 16 @ 100Hz. Cu on your 160 stylus is 10 @ 100Hz.  That's the same as a 150MLX which is 18 @10Hz.

The gold on the cantilever is a very thin layer, vapor deposited.

Nice cart.

Both are excelent carts with beryllium cantilever and micro ridge

stylus (?). However the AT 160 cantilever is gold plated probably for

dampening reasons. I own both but only the user manual for

the 155LC. The other should provide specs for the AT 160 so

we can compare them.

Channel sep.: 32 dB;

Stylus            : linear ;
