About the Audio-Technica VM760SLC
Out-of-this-world fidelity and frequency response
Out-of-this-world fidelity and frequency response
Playing great records with a standard, low-cost cartridge is like using a blunt object to do microsurgery — you need a very fine stylus to pull all of the information out of a record groove, and to avoid degrading both the stylus and the record over time.
The Audio-Technica VM760SLC features a superb 1.5 x 0.28 mil line contact stylus that even Goldilocks would love — it sits in the groove "just right," so it can read all of the nuanced information contained within. That means high fidelity, and incredible frequency response from 20-30,000 Hz. If you want to get the most out of your valuable records over the long haul, it's an excellent choice.

Featured review
Excellent performance and value. I agree with the review in "The Absolute Sound" completely. Just remember it will only shine as bright as the weakest link in equipment chain. It will shame some high end kit. If you like MC, try the AT33ev (sa).
