The VM540ML MicroLine stylus cartridge is the premier 500 Series model in Audio-Technica's 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 VM540ML 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 MicroLine stylus allows it to trace the record groove with incredible accuracy, resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply can't match. The stylus's multilevel shape also wears better than other styli, while reducing the wear on your records. Includes mounting hardware.
- MicroLine stylus: VM dual magnet cartridge
- Paratoroidal coils: Improve generating efficiency
- Center shield plate: Between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk
- Durable: Low-resonance polymer cartridge housing
A: The LAB XIIS cartridge featured a (ATN12S) Shibata type stylus bonded to a tapered aluminum cantilever, both the cartridge and stylus have been discontinued for quite some time, we have no original replacement styli remaining here and no current replacement styli that is compatible with the LAB XII-S cartridge body. It appears that at least one of our dealers, LP Gear, has some NOS ATN12S styli remaining in their inventory. The current equivalent cartridge complete with stylus is the AT-VM750XSH, the VM540ML cartridge is similar.
