Overview

by Crutchfield's Eric A.

Get deep into the groove

What makes one stylus better than another? The shape and mounting of the stylus — the tiny diamond that traces the grooves of the record — is where small changes make a big difference in sound quality. The Audio-Technica VM750SH phono cartridge features an advanced 2.7 x 0.26 mil Shibata stylus that's specially designed to pick up detailed information contained in every part of a record's groove.

Features

Dual Moving Magnet Mono Phono Cartridge: The VM750SH Shibata stylus cartridge is a premier 700 Series model in Audio-Technica's new VM cartridge line. Like all VM cartridges, the VM750SH 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 Shibata stylus provides greater surface contact with the record groove than an elliptical stylus does, resulting in the pickup of ultra-high frequencies with less groove stress and distortion. Includes mounting hardware.

Greetings Ravikumar, and thank you for your question. The Audio Technica VM750SH is compatible with the Pro Ject Carbon Debut. The instructions are easy to follow, and we have the copy right on the AT cartridges page that you can look at before buying.

Does this cartridge contain any silver in the signal chain?

randall Sep 03, 2022

1 answer

This cartridge does not contain any silver in the signal chain outside of the silver in the solder, which makes up 3% of the overall content of the solder.

Will this cartridge fit the headshell that comes with the LP-7 turntable?

bill Sep 16, 2019

1 answer

Yes. If this is you're first TT and you are not sure if you can mount it, get someone to do it for you. Make sure you get the overhang correct and the VTA. I also have this cart. on a new SL 1200. it sounds great. I have a Nagaoka MP-300 on a Pioneer PLX 1000. can't tell which one I like better. You should'nt listen criticly for about 30 to 40 Hrs. Give it time to break in.

How would this cartridge compare to my vintage AT Signet TK7SU cartridge?

stephen Jul 15, 2018

1 answer

Well I do not know what the Signet sounded like. All I can tell you is its sounds better than my AT 440mla or my denon dl110. Its very smooth at all freqs. It picks out every detail. In a good system its very reveling. On my pioneer plx 1000 I find it sounds better tracking at 1.9 weight.
