Audio-Technica VMN40ML MicroLine Stylus for VM540ML and VM740ML Cartridges

The Audio-Technica VMN40ML is the genuine MicroLine replacement stylus for the VM540ML and VM740ML dual moving magnet cartridges. Audio-Technica's MicroLine profile is one of the most advanced stylus shapes available: its narrow, line-contact footprint traces high-frequency groove modulations that conical and elliptical tips simply ride over, delivering exceptional detail retrieval, extended treble, and dramatically reduced inner-groove distortion.

Built with nude square-shank construction, the whole diamond is precisely oriented and mounted directly to the cantilever for minimal moving mass and accurate azimuth. The MicroLine shape also distributes contact pressure along the groove wall rather than concentrating it at a point, so both the stylus and your records enjoy longer life.

Whether you are refreshing a well-loved VM540ML, restoring a VM740ML, or upgrading another VM500/VM700 Series body to MicroLine performance, the VMN40ML snaps into place in seconds with no tools or realignment — an instant return to reference-grade vinyl playback.
