Audio-Technica VM740ML MicroLine Dual Moving Magnet Turntable Cartridge

The Audio-Technica VM740ML is a premium dual moving magnet stereo cartridge from the VM700 series, built around one of the finest stylus profiles in analog playback: the MicroLine. For vinyl listeners who want moving-coil-level detail retrieval with the convenience and replaceable stylus of a moving magnet design, the VM740ML is a standout choice.

The MicroLine stylus traces record grooves with incredible accuracy, resolving nuance that elliptical and conical styli simply cannot match. Its multilevel shape also wears more gradually than conventional tips while reducing wear on your records — protecting both your investment in the cartridge and your record collection. Audio-Technica's signature dual magnet design mirrors the layout of the cutter head that made the record, matching the left and right channels in the stereo groove for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response.

Inside, paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency and a center shield plate between the channels reduces crosstalk, while the die-cast aluminum alloy housing damps vibration and adds a natural electrical shield. The result is a quiet, focused, highly detailed presentation that flatters well-recorded pressings.
