Audio-Technica - AT-VMN45xML VMx Microlinear Replacement Stylus for AT-VM745xML Cartridge - Red

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.

The AT33xMLD features a microlinear nude stylus on a duralumin tapered cantilever delivering warm detailed sound ideal for rock and jazz. Its piano-wire suspension improves tracking and enhances mid-low range performance while the composite zinc aluminum and polymer body minimizes resonance for balanced natural playback. Independent PCOCC coils in the dual moving coil design ensure excellent channel separation and smooth signal transmission supported by a neodymium magnet and permendur yoke for efficient high-resolution sound.FeaturesDual Moving Coil Stereo Cartridge with Microlinear Nude StylusPCOCC Coils Ensure Smooth Signal TransmissionComposite Body Reduces Resonance for Balanced SoundMaterial DifferenceThe AT33xMLD’s rigid duralumin pipe cantilever which tapers toward the microlinear stylus tip for improved response is linked with a firm suspension mechanism slightly lowering the dynamic compliance. Two independent PCOCC coils are positioned at the cantilever’s fulcrum to ensure pure signal transmission for each channel.Sound BodyEach AT33x Series cartridge body is constructed of three distinct materials – die-cast zinc aluminum and high-rigidity polymer – optimally arranged to reduce and disperse resonance across the cartridge body so that no frequency predominates during playback. Threaded holes are incorporated into the body for easy mounting.Full Warm SoundThe redesigned AT33x Series cartridges deliver that classic analog sound rich in detail across the audio spectrum with lifelike expressiveness in the mid to low frequencies. The AT33xMLD is an excellent choice for playing rock and jazz records particularly those recorded in the 1950s ’60s and ’70s.  What's in the BoxAT33xMLD Dual Moving Coil Stereo CartridgeInstallation Kit
