Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge

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 Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency for enhanced channel separation, channel balance, and transient response PCUHD® (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils – and fewer coil turns – deliver highly responsive, three-dimensional sound reproduction with excellent transient response Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk for clear stereo sound Die-cast aluminum housing reduces vibrations and resonance Threaded inserts make cartridge easier to mount, especially to integrated tonearms V-cut in the flip-up stylus protector shows stylus position, serving as a guide for lowering the stylus onto a record Aluminum tapered cantilever reduces mass near the stylus tip for quicker signal transmission Compatible with any turntable headshell that accepts 1/2" cartridges Compatible with most AT-VMx series replacement styli,* offering a wide choice of options for every budget and application

Grado Prestige Green 3 T4P Moving Magnet Cartridge

Both the Black3 and Green3 use a three piece OTL cantilever that has a Grado specific diamond mounted on a brass bushing.   The Green3 are hand selected from Black3 production runs which meet higher test specifications. Approximately 15% of the run usually exhibits these specs and become a Green3.   Grado’s OTL, or optimized transmission line, technology provides an ideal transfer of signal from the surface of the LP to the generator of the system. This technology rejects unwanted resonances and lowers distortion preserving the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of the music. This also helps keep noise generated by the motor system in the cartridge to a minimum.   Grado's OTL stylus/cantilever design makes records sound quieter, improves the height, width, and depth of the soundstage, and present more detail than previously obtainable.
