VM type stereo cartridge with head record solid micro linear aluminum tapered pipe cantilever Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML/H shell, needle, needle,

Ships from Japan Equipped with the head shell "AT-LT10" that is easy to attach to a universal arm: Equipped with the lightweight head shell "AT-LT10" that is about 10.0g*, which is ideal for attaching a cartridge with a threaded specification. The lead wire uses OFC (oxygen-free copper) conductor, which is well-known for its sound quality. The aluminum die-cast body realizes stable playback. A diverse lineup of styli to meet the sound quality you desire: While possessing the excellent information volume and wide-band reproduction capabilities of the microlinear styli, it also has a thick sound image and powerful reproduction of the mid-low range. The large contact area between the styli and the sound groove makes the styli less susceptible to wear and ensures a long life. The body uses a paratoroidal coil structure: the AT-VMx series features a unique power generation system called the paratoroidal coil structure. The paratoroidal structure is unitized and has no seams in the core, so the magnetic flux is retained within the specially wound coil. This results in improved power generation efficiency and excellent linearity. Threaded cartridge mounting holes: Compatible with integrated tone arms, which are widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. By changing to threaded specifications, it has become easier to mount a cartridge on the integrated arm. Improved visibility of the stylus tip during operation: With conventional VM type cartridges, we have received feedback that it is difficult to see the tip of the needle when dropping it on a record. With this model, we have improved the visibility of the stylus tip by adding a V-shaped cut to the protector as a guide for the needle tip position while ensuring compatibility with previous models (replacement needles and bodies). A model with a head shell that uses a solid micro-linear stylus for a rich and realistic sound field. The top-of-the-line lineup of Audio-Technica's proprietary VM-type cartridges will be reborn as the "AT-VM700x/600x/500x" series ("AT-VMx" series). This is the first renewal in nine years since 2016, and the lineup is wide, from high-grade models equipped with line contact stylus to standard models equipped with elliptical and round stylus. In addition to the best sound quality in the history of VM-type cartridges, ease of use has also been improved. PCUHD (high purity oxygen-free copper) is newly adopted for the coil conductor of all models. A powerful low-frequency expression and a wide sound field have been achieved. The number of turns of the winding has also been reduced, resulting in a responsive, light sound quality and improved musical expression. The cantilever material of this product, "AT-VM740xML", is an aluminum tapered pipe, which simultaneously achieves weight reduction and improved durability. In addition, the change to a threaded specification of the cartridge makes it easier to attach to the integrated arm. In addition, the protector has a V-shaped cutout to guide the needle tip position. By adding a hole, the visibility of the stylus tip when dropping the needle on the record is improved. This product also comes with the head shell "AT-LT10" which is convenient to attach to a universal tone arm. The head shell is designed to be lightweight at approximately 10.0g*, making it ideal for attaching threaded cartridges. The lead wire uses OFC (oxygen-free copper) conductors, which are renowned for their sound quality. The aluminum die-cast body ensures stable playback. *Lead wires and mounting screws are excluded.
