Audio-Technica - AT-VM760xSL VMx Special Line Contact MM Phono Cartridge - Black

Clear and ultra-musical with just the right degree of warmth, Songbird Low offers an even deeper soundstage with greater reach width-wise. As it’s generally more quiet thus allowing more detail to surface, you’ll be shocked by the surprises it yields even in the recordings you’re most familiar with. Stunningly holographic in a manner that approaches that of Starling, Songbird Low maximizes the refinement of your MC system at a price that’s well below reasonable considering the performance it achieves.

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 sonic presentation of Blue Point No. 3 harkens back to vintage Shure & Stanton MMs remembered for their smoothness. With our tried & true MC generator system, that smoothness is enhanced with the subtlety & nuance you’d expect from a Sumiko MC. First and foremost – and if ever the word were appropriate – Blue Point No. 3 assembles its sonic picture from the ground up with its oh-so buttery low-end response. Bass enthusiasts are in for a treat here. Full & warm yet defined & textured, the coziness of the bass will invite you right in. It doesn’t stop there, however. You can expect the similar lushness through the mids that remain decipherable, high-frequency attack & decay that’s simply sweet & airy.
