The AT-VM670xSP cartridge is specifically engineered for playing 78 RPM monaural records. Its dual magnets are internally connected to minimise record noise and produce a highly focused "centre" sound image, a distinct advantage over stereo cartridges.
Like all VMx cartridges, the AT-VM670xSP utilises PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability), which contributes to richer, more nuanced audio reproduction. We've also slightly reduced the number of coil turns to enhance transient response, allowing the cartridge to react more quickly to signal changes. This delivers stunningly clean music with lifelike immediacy. The stylus's 3.0 mil curvature radius makes it an excellent choice for playing 78s from various eras.
