Lightweight, Special Line Contact Stylus on Audio-Technica VM760SLC Boasts Excellent Tracking and Laser-Like Focus: Japanese-Made Dual MM Phono Cartridge Delivers Stellar Separation and Imaging
The biggest factor behind the addictive sound of The Absolute Sound Product of the Year and Editors' Choice Awards-winning Audio-Technica VM760SLC Dual MM phono cartridge is its special line contact stylus. Extremely lightweight and incredibly accurate, it tracks grooves with a laser-like focus and minimum abrasiveness – thereby cutting down on both distortion and record wear. In addition, its strategically positioned dual magnets match the stereo left and right channels on your LPs, leading to wondrous separation, imaging, and dynamics. VM760SLC also features an aluminum taped cantilever, paratoroidal coils for generating efficiency, a center shield plate to reduce crosstalk, and a die-cast aluminum housing to help eliminate vibration. In addition, VM760SLC comes with the necessary mounting hardware to get you going on a remarkable audio journey.
"Intrinsically, its performance is superb; factoring in its price, it is staggering."
