Audio-Technica VMN60SLC Special Line Contact Stylus for VM760SLC

The Audio-Technica VMN60SLC is the flagship replacement stylus of the VM series — a 1.5 x 0.28 mil Special Line Contact needle designed for the VM760SLC cartridge. The Special Line Contact profile is Audio-Technica's most refined stylus shape, tracing the record groove with an extremely narrow contact radius that recovers subtle high-frequency detail while spreading tracking force across a taller section of the groove wall to minimize record wear.

Construction is nude rectangular shank: the diamond is mounted directly to the cantilever rather than bonded to a metal sleeve, reducing tip mass for faster, more accurate transient response. The result is playback with exceptional resolution, air, and inner-groove composure — the qualities that define the top of the VM line.

Because all VM500 and VM600 series styli share the same fitting, the VMN60SLC is also a legitimate drop-on upgrade for any VM-series cartridge body, instantly elevating a VM520EB or VM540ML to near-VM760SLC performance. Installation is tool-free: slide off the old stylus assembly and click this one home.
