Audio-Technica VM510CB
Timothy from Flower Mound, TX on 1/26/2022
Installed on a Denon dp -300f turntable. I had a Ortofon 2m red on it and was tired of the uppper mid frequencies it produces. This cartridge is so much nicer sounding all the highs and sweet mids and full low end bass without the upper silabence of the 2m red. I'm a new fan of the audio teachnica sound, clear like a cd and full round sounding like the way vinyl is supposed to be. ???????? Two thumbs up for sure. Entry level price but high end sound.
Pros: Price and sound quality don't be afraid of the .6 mil conical stylus I love it
Cons: None

Great sound with accurate tracking. I placed the weight on the light side and it still holds up. Sometimes I believe it can capture the sound of the universe turning in space.

Modest upgrade, impressive difference
Crutchfield customer from Mathews, VA on 7/22/2020
Well, so far so good. The stylus that fit the cartridge that came with my TEAC turntable having been discontinued, I opted for a new cartridge. I must say, it's better than the 'starter' cartridge that came with the unit (though that cartridge had been perfectly acceptable). This was a modest upgrade that brings out much more sound - deeper bass, crisper high ends, solid mid-range. Easy to install - I was a snap at these things when I was 15 years old; being 55 brings other challenges, among them (1) vision and (2) how do you do this again? Fortunately, I still had the TEAC papers, so once the cartridge was in place (that really was a snap), it was easy to set up the tone arm, and slap on my favorite LP's. Back on the vinyl again. AND, it was delivered the NEXT DAY. Thanks Crutchfield!

Nuts and Bolts too short or too long
Crutchfield customer from Minneapolis, MN on 3/23/2020
While I have been enjoying the Audio-Technica turntable stylus I was disappointed in that the hardware to install it was not helpful at all. The nut and bolt assortment was either two short or not long enough. I had to take the needle to a Needle Doctor (ha ha) really I did. He was able to make it work.
