Audio-Technica - AT-VM745xML VMx Microlinear MM Phono Cartridge - Red

The VM530EN/H combo kit includes the VM530EN elliptical nude dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-HS10BK universal 1/2"-mount headshell. 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.

Premium Moving Magnet CartridgeExperience unveiled and clear sound reproduction with the Concorde Music Blue featuring a Nude Elliptical stylus on an Aluminum cantilever and offers an upgrade from the Concorde Music Red. Enjoy seamless upgrades throughout the series from the Concorde Music Blue to the Concorde Music Black LVB 250 simply by replacing the stylus.Iconic DesignBuilding upon a rich legacy which began when we launched the original Concorde the Concorde Music holds a storied history as one of the most famous cartridges in the world of audio. Originally developed as a solution to the challenge of easy mounting on a tonearm without screws or wires the Concorde's unique design earned the Danish Industrial Design Award and became an icon in the audio industry.StylusThe Concorde Music Blue featuring a Nude Elliptical stylus on an Aluminum cantilever offers an upgrade from the Concorde Music Red. Nude diamonds weighing less than their tipped counterparts enhance responsiveness detail and reduce distortion. Enjoy seamless upgrades throughout the series from the Concorde Music Blue to the Concorde Music Black LVB 250 simply by replacing the stylus.Rubber SuspensionA crucially important and vital part of a phono cartridge overall performance is the stylus rubber suspension. Exclusive Ortofon rubber compounds are used for the stylus suspensions in the Concorde Music Blue carefully produced at the inhouse rubber production and developed by the research and engineering team at Ortofon for brilliant performance.Coil SystemThe Concorde Music features Ortofon's quad-coil generating system with four split pole pins. Silver-plated oxygen-free copper is chosen for the quad-coil system along with four Ortofon split pole pins. This results in exceptional channel balance and separation delivering precise and dynamic sound. With a 6 mV output it offers lifelike sound with exceptional clarity and fidelity capturing every detail.CompatibilityInstalling the Concorde Music cartrid
