AT 155LC and AT 160ML

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.

AT 155 LC:

Fr.resp.         : 5- 35 Khz;

Channel sep.: 32 dB;

Stylus            : linear ;

Cantilever      : beryllium;

VTF               : 1, 25 g

Weight           : 8,3 g

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.
