Audio-Technica VM530EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge

The VM530EN is a top-end elliptical stylus cartridge in Audio-Technica's new VM cartridge line.

Like all VM cartridges, the VM530EN 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 lightweight 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus reduces the execution mass of the vibration system, enabling fuller frequency reproduction and less tracking distortion than a bonded stylus. Includes mounting hardware.
