Audio-Technica AT-VM510xCB VM-type Stereo Cartridge with Bonded Round Stylus and Aluminum Pipe Cantilever for Record Players

Newly Adopted PCUHD*² Coil Conductor: This is the first time that PCUHD*², also used in our Hi-Fi audio cables, has been adopted in a VM-type cartridge. It delivers powerful low-frequency response and a wide sound field. Furthermore, by reducing the number of winding turns, it achieves a light, responsive sound quality. *² PCUHD: Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability (high-purity oxygen-free copper wire). A Wide Range of Stylus Lineups to Meet Your Sound Quality Desired: This is the entry-level model of the VM-type cartridge equipped with a bonded circular stylus. The circular stylus delivers stable tracing performance under a variety of conditions. Paratoroidal Coil Structure in the Body: The [AT-VMx] series features a unique power generation system called the paratoroidal coil structure. The paratoroidal structure is unitized and has a seamless core, so the magnetic flux is contained within the specially wound coil. This results in improved power generation efficiency and excellent linearity. Threaded Cartridge Mounting Hole: Compatible with integrated tonearms, which are widely adopted in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The change to a threaded design makes it easier to attach the cartridge to the integrated arm. Improved visibility of the stylus tip during operation: With previous VM-type cartridges, we received feedback that it was difficult to see the stylus tip when dropping the stylus on a record. With this new model, while ensuring compatibility with previous models (replacement styli and bodies), we have added a V-shaped cut to the protector as a guide for stylus positioning, improving the visibility of the stylus tip.
