Audio-Technica VM530EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge

Description

The VM530EN is a top-end elliptical stylus cartridge in
Audio-Technica’s new VM cartridge line – a line that harks back to A-T’s early
days as a manufacturer primarily of high-end phono cartridges, while also
incorporating today’s advanced technology. Like all VM cartridges, the VM530EN
is equipped with dual magnets that are positioned to match the left and right
channels in the stereo record groove for outstanding channel separation and
extended frequency response. The cartridge’s lightweight 0.3 x 0.7 mil
elliptical nude stylus reduces the execution mass of the vibration system,
enabling fuller frequency reproduction and less tracking distortion than a
bonded stylus. Includes mounting hardware.
