Audio-Technica AT-VM520xEB VM-type Stereo Cartridge with Bonded Elliptical Stylus and Aluminum Pipe Cantilever for Record Players

Newly Adopted PCUHD*² Coil Conductor: This is the first time we've used PCUHD*², which is also used in our Hi-Fi audio cables, in a VM-type cartridge. It delivers powerful low-frequency response and a wide sound field. Furthermore, by reducing the number of turns in the winding, we've achieved a light, responsive sound. *² PCUHD: Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability (High-Purity Oxygen-Free Copper Wire) A Wide Range of Stylus Lineup to Meet Your Sound Quality Desired: This is the standard elliptical stylus model featuring a bonded elliptical stylus. Tracing distortion is reduced, resulting in more accurate information extraction. Paratoroidal Coil Structure in the Body: The [AT-VMx] series features a unique power generation system called the paratoroidal coil structure. The paratoroidal structure is unitized and has a seamless core, so the magnetic flux is contained within the specially wound coil. This results in improved power generation efficiency and excellent linearity. Threaded Cartridge Mounting Hole: Compatible with integrated tonearms, which are widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The change to a threaded design makes it easier to attach the cartridge to the integrated arm. Improved visibility of the stylus tip during operation: With previous VM-type cartridges, we received feedback that it was difficult to see the stylus tip when dropping the stylus on a record. With this new model, while ensuring compatibility with previous models (replacement styli and bodies), we have added a V-shaped cut to the protector as a guide for stylus positioning, improving the visibility of the stylus tip.
