Audio-Technica - AT-VM750xSH VMx Shibata MM Phono Cartridge - Gold

The AT VM750xSH H combo kit delivers a refined vinyl upgrade with a Shibata dual moving magnet cartridge factory mounted on the AT LT10 universal headshell for fast and accurate installation. Part of the updated VMx series, this cartridge features a solid boron cantilever, precision Shibata stylus, paratoroidal coils, and a center shield plate to enhance channel separation, balance, and transient response while reducing crosstalk. A low resonance polymer body and metal construction preserve musical detail and dynamics. The lightweight aluminum die cast headshell minimizes vibration, allows precise alignment, and uses oxygen free copper leads and a secure finger lift for confident cueing and consistent, high fidelity playback.

The AT-VM740xML/H combo kit includes the AT-VM740xML microlinear dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-LT10 universal 1/2"-mount headshell. The AT-VM740xML is part of the updated AT-VMx series which introduces material and design changes to further refine the VM sound offering responsive playback that is especially sensitive to the dynamism of musical expression.FeaturesAT-VM740xML Dual Moving Magnet CartridgeMicrolinear StylusParatoroidal Coils Improve Channel Separation Channel Balance and Transient ResponseCenter Shield Plate Reduces CrosstalkDurable Low-Resonance Polymer HousingAluminum CantileverCompatible with Any Turntable Headshell That Accepts 1/2” CartridgesAT-LT10 Universal ½”-Mount HeadshellFor 4-Pin Turntable Cartridges with or Without Threaded InsertsUltra-Lightweight Aluminum Die-Cast Body Keeps Vibration to the Bare MinimumElongated Through Holes Enable Precise Cartridge Positioning and Overhang AdjustmentOFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) Lead Wires for Exceptional Sound QualitySlip-Resistant Finger Lift Allows Stylus to Be Placed Precisely on the RecordIncludes Mounting ScrewsWhat's in the BoxAT-VM740xML/H VMx Headshell & Microlinear Dual MM Cartridge Combo KitInstallation HardwareManualSpecificationsType: VMFrequency response: 20 to 25000 HzOutput voltage: 3.2 mV (1 kHz 5 cm/sec.)Channel separation: 25 dB (1 kHz)Output balance: 1.0 dB (1 kHz)Tracking force: 1.8 to 2.2 g (2.0 g standard)Coil impedance: 3.2 k ohms (1 kHz)DC resistance: 750 ohmsRecommended load impedance: 47 k ohmsRecommended load capacitance: 150 to 250 pFCoil inductance: 480 mH (1 kHz)Static compliance: 20 × 10?6 cm/dyneDynamic compliance: 7 × 10?6 cm/dyne (100 Hz)Stylus: Nude MicrolinearStylus curvature radius: 2.2 × 0.12 milCantilever: Aluminum tapered pipeVertical tracking angle: 20°Dimensions: 2.7” × 0.73” × 0.85”Weight: 20.3 g (0.72 oz)Replacement stylus (sold separately): AT-VMN40xML

Keep vinyl LPs free from annoying static, microscopic dust, and harmful debris with AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush. Simple, attractive, and remarkably effective, AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush features 1,086,000 conductive carbon fibers and an uncoated metal finger grip to create a reliable electrical path between fibers and handle. Unlike most brushes that have a protective coating over their handles, AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush employs an uncoated metal finger grip that has been carefully positioned for ease of use and efficacy, ensuring a proper electrical connection to the user’s hand. That electrical path from fibers to hand is key to the Silver Anti-Static Record Brush’s success: Upon gripping the handle and gently applying the brush’s bristles to the surface of an LP, the user essentially becomes the ground for static electricity. Like its sibling, AudioQuest’s Gold Anti-Static Record Brush, which boasts even more (1,248,000) conductive carbon fibers, the Silver Anti-Static Record Brush is a direct descendant of AudioQuest’s tried-and-TRUE Carbon Fiber Record Brush. Dating back to 1982, AudioQuest’s Carbon Fiber Record Brush is a TRUE hi-fi classic, trusted for decades by audiophiles, vinyl enthusiasts, collectors, record-shop owners, DJs, and anyone else who cares about LPs. In creating the improved design, AudioQuest established new tooling for every part of the Anti-Static Record Brush. The revamped Anti-Static Record Brush has ideal conductivity from its carbon fibers through its internal parts to the ergonomically positioned conductive contacts. AudioQuest also reinvestigated the performance potential of carbon fiber bristles, thoughtfully selecting a far greater quantity of smaller bristles to sweep away microscopic dust and debris — not just the less relevant visible dust — more effectively. Building and maintaining a record collection doesn’t have to be a daunting or tedious task. The AudioQuest Silver Anti-Static Record Brush makes it easy: Simply place a record on your turntable’s platter, start the turntable, and wait until the record is spinning at its proper speed (33, 45, or 78RPMs). Holding the Anti-Static Record Brush by its silver finger grips, place its fibers across the grooves — firmly enough that the bristles make constant contact with the record’s surface and gently enough that the bristles do not bend. Allow the record to turn for two or three rotations so that the Anti-Static Record Brush can collect the visible dust and any invisible microscopic dust. Gently and smoothly slide the brush away from the platter’s center spindle, toward your body, and off the record’s surface. Rotate the Anti-Static Record Brush within its handle to remove any dirt and debris from its carbon fiber bristles. Repeat the process as desired. Cleaning your records before and after each listening session helps keep them free from dust and debris while eliminating static that can contribute to annoying snaps, crackles, and pops. This safe and simple record-cleaning process also benefits your phono cartridge’s stylus, enhancing its performance and extending its lifespan by ensuring that it travels a smoother, cleaner path through the vinyl’s grooves. Make the AudioQuest Silver Anti-Static Record Brush an important part of your vinyl-care routine and join tens of thousands who have trusted AudioQuest with keeping their valuable collections clean, quiet, and static-free.
