What's in the box
Product Description
The at-oc9xeb dual moving coil cartridge with bonded elliptical stylus is designed to provide outstanding channel separation. The pure copper by Ohio continuous casting (PCOCC) coils ensure pure audio transmission and are aligned in a reverse v-shaped formation to exert less pressure on the stylus, thereby minimizing distortion. Audio quality is further enhanced by a rigid aluminum body that reduces resonance, a neodymium magnet and pure Iron yoke that increase the magnetic energy, and the bonded elliptical stylus on an aluminum cantilever that accurately tracks the record groove. The cartridge body has been pre-threaded, enabling it to be mounted to a head shell or integral tonearm with just two screws – no nuts required.

You will need to make 2 easy modifications.
1. The 10 gram headshell will need to be replaced with a 7 oz headshell like the one in the pic I posted. A Pioneer PL 12D works well or you can purchase a new one relatively cheap.
2. You will have to install a 6mm thick turntable mat on your acrylic platter. A little bummer but its all about the sound. Right? I use a Hudson Cork mat. The AT-OC9X series height is .7 mm shorter than the Fluance recommended spec. That coupled with the new headshell is going to make it sit lower. The reason for the mat.
That's it. Align your cartridge using a protractor and set the tone arm to 2.0 grams and you should not have any problems with any in this AT-OC9X series.
One last thing. Take the small bubble level that came with your turntable and place it on the top of the headshell once you completed the installation. These lighter aluminum headshells are thin and can become a little warped during shipping or just over time. You may need to apply a little pressure or twist to make sure its completely level, thus keeping the cartridge level and the stylus aligned in the record groove.
UPDATE: Ive now put about 10 hours on the stylus and it has really opened up!! I adjusted the weight to 2.10 grams and it tracks beautifully. I'm super impressed with this cartridge.

Update:
Oc9xml is much better. Great clarity and dynamics, instrument separation, strong tight bass and most of all tracks incredibly. No inner grove distortion or sibilance whatsoever.
