All VMx cartridges feature a generator with paratoroidal coil construction, utilising two coils per channel—one stacked behind the other—for significantly improved efficiency. A central shield plate separates the left and right channels to reduce crosstalk and maintain a clear stereo image. The copper wire used for the coils has been upgraded to PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability), resulting in richer, more nuanced audio reproduction. The number of coil turns has also been slightly reduced to improve transient response, allowing the cartridge to react more quickly to signal changes for stunningly clean music with lifelike immediacy. The lightweight microlinear stylus of the AT-VM740xML precisely traces the record groove with incredible accuracy, delivering nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply can't match.
Key Features:
- AT-VMx dual moving magnet cartridge with microlinear stylus
- Microlinear stylus tracks the record groove with incredible accuracy, providing more nuanced sound reproduction than elliptical and conical styli
