Audio-Technica VM670SP Dual Moving Magnet 78 RPM Turntable Cartridge

The Audio-Technica VM670SP is a premium dual moving magnet cartridge purpose-built for playing 78 RPM records. Fitted with a 3.0 mil conical stylus sized for the wide grooves of shellac discs, it lets collectors of early jazz, blues, classical, and spoken-word recordings hear those records the way a standard LP stylus never could.

As part of the VM600 series, the VM670SP benefits from Audio-Technica's dual-magnet generator and para-toroidal coils, which improve generating efficiency for a strong, clean output. Crucially for 78 playback, its mono body terminates the left and right channels together, dramatically reducing the surface noise that mono shellac discs are prone to — you hear more music and less crackle. An aluminum cantilever and durable low-resonance polymer housing keep tracking stable and colorations low.

For archivists and serious 78 collectors, the VM670SP delivers a refined, noise-reduced window into a century of recorded sound, and its stylus interchanges with other VM500/VM600 series needles for flexible use of one cartridge body.
