Technics EPC-271C-S moving-magnet cartridge with an integrated headshell, one unit, in very good physical condition and tested and functional.
Description from the seller
The Technics EPC-271C-S is an iconic Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge from the 1970s and 1980s, technically virtually identical to the highly popular EPC-270C series. The big difference is the physical form: with the 271C-S the cartridge and the headshell are fused into one solid unit.
The cartridge is in very good condition!
Technical Specifications
Type: Moving Magnet (MM).
Frequency range: 20 Hz – 25 kHz (comparable to the EPC-270C).
Output voltage: Approximately 3.2 mV at 1 kHz.
Recommended tracking force: Between 1.5 and 2.0 grams.
Weight: The complete cartridge including the integrated headshell weighs about 9 grams.
Stylus shape: The original stylus (EPS-271SD) has a spherical (conical) diamond tip.
Features & Audio Characteristics
Integrated Design: The housing is a "sealed unit" that fits directly into an S-shaped tonearm with a SME connector. This provides a stiff construction and a very tight vintage Technics look.
Sound character: Users describe the sound as "warm", "punchy" and with a pleasant midrange. It is often praised for its ability to musically reproduce even less-than-perfect (second-hand) records.
Production: The cartridges were manufactured by Nagaoka on behalf of Technics (National Panasonic), which explains why the build quality and sound reproduction are still highly regarded today.
