Great clear vocals and percussion
Al from Great Mills, MD on 4/2/2022
Got it today. Replaced the Ortfon 10 that was on my Fluance Turntable. Running through a pair of ELAC Unifi speakers and a 40+ year old Technics SA-600 receiver. Nice clear vocals. Great sound. Will be getting a second one for my Denon DP-400
Pros: Great sound and price
Cons: None yet

AT cartridge
Bernard from Paducah, KY on 3/8/2022
I ordered this optional cartridge upgrade with the Music Hall Classic turntable. It was shipped installed in the shell as seen, but it wouldn't install in the tone arm because the shell is NOT angled. This was an obvious oversight: WRONG shell. In any case, I returned the AT with no problems whatsoever. I'm perfectly satisfied with the Music Hall cartridge. I've been a Crutchfield customer for years, and this is the only erroneous shipment ever. Returning was easy and painless, and that's why I keep coming back.
Pros: I don't know because I couldn't use it.
Cons: No comment here.

Great replacement cartridge
Dennis from Rapid City, SD on 2/16/2022
Arrived as promised. Easy to install and balance. Relplacement cartridge for Denon 450. The sound is great. Have been listening to high quality LP from the late 70s and early 80s and am not disappointed with the results.
Pros: Easy installation and great sound.
Cons:

Just fantastic! I didn't know that my speakers and subwoofer would sound even better because of this great AT cartridge. The clarity, range and authenticity of the reproduction with almost no discernible surface noise is amazing. It truly brings the music to life.

Crutchfield customer from Fort Wayne, IN on 12/22/2020
I replaced an old worn out Shure cartridge with the VM520EB/H on my 40 year old Technics turntable. Since it is already mounted in a shell, installation was a snap. Now my records sound brand new. I can hear subtle details that were previously lost.
Pros: Easy installation Great sound
Cons: None

Audio-Technica VM520EB
Crutchfield customer from Laconia, NH on 4/19/2020
I absolutely love listening to music and recently got into vinyl. Mostly rock and classic rock from all years. I upgraded from a conical stylus to this here. I absolutely love the difference in sound. This was worth the upgrade. I found the highs and lows to be very noticeable through each record played. After using this I've now considered upgrading my speakers because I know there is more sound to be found. I found the design to be very solid and sharp looking. Definitely worth purchasing.
Pros: Very easy to install and maintain.
Cons: Zip, zero, nadda

Jay from Oak Hill, VA on 4/11/2018
I was trying to decide if I should add a new cartridge/needle to my old direct drive turntable or just buy a new turntable. I reviewed both at Crutchfield and I am glad I upgraded my old turntable since it appears many new turntables in my price range come with lower grade cartridge/needle set ups. Now I have amazing sound quality coming out of my old re-foamed Infinity tower speakers.
Pros: Impressive sound quality
Cons: None
