Stereo AEX 2026 Solid Shibata Stylus with Boron for Record Players Audio-Technica AT-VM750xSH VM-type Cartridge, Award-winning, Cantilever,

Newly adopted PCUHD*² coil conductor: PCUHD*², which is also used in our Hi-Fi audio cables, is used for the first time in a VM type cartridge. It delivers powerful low-frequency expression and a wide sound field. Furthermore, by reducing the number of turns of the winding, it has been finished with a light sound quality with excellent response. *² PCUHD: Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability (high purity oxygen-free copper wire) High-grade model exclusive hard cantilever: This high-grade model features a line contact stylus and uses boron for the cantilever material. Its excellent vibration transmission speed ensures a fast and accurate sound onset. The shape and length of the stylus tip have been redesigned to significantly reduce its weight compared to previous models. The smaller diameter and shorter length result in a lighter effective mass, allowing for more accurate tracing of the record's sound. A wide variety of stylus lineups to meet your sound quality needs: Equipped with solid Shibata stylus, which excels in reproducing not only high frequencies but also rich mid- and low-frequency sounds. It excels at conveying the passion of the performance with clear and powerful sound image positioning. The large contact area between the stylus tip and the sound groove reduces wear on the stylus tip and extends its lifespan. The body uses a paratoroidal coil structure: The AT-VMx series features a unique power generation system called a paratoroidal coil structure. The paratoroidal structure is a unitized, seamless core, so the magnetic flux is retained within the specially wound coil. This results in improved power generation efficiency and excellent linearity. Threaded cartridge mounting holes: Compatible with integrated tone arms, which are widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The new threaded holes make it easier to mount cartridges on integrated arms. This solid Shibata stylus model delivers rich, rich mid-low range reproduction. Audio-Technica's top-of-the-line lineup of proprietary VM-type cartridges has been reborn as the "AT-VM700x/600x/500x" series ("AT-VMx" series). This latest update marks the first in nine years since 2016, and features a wide lineup ranging from high-grade models with line contact styli to standard models with elliptical and round styli. In addition to the best sound quality in the history of VM-type cartridges, ease of use has also been improved. All models now feature PCUHD (high-purity oxygen-free copper) coil conductors, delivering powerful low-frequency expression and a wide sound field. The reduced number of winding turns enhances responsive, light sound quality and musical expression. Furthermore, the high-grade model, the AT-VM750xSH, uses boron for the cantilever material. Its excellent vibration transmission speed ensures quick and accurate sound onset. The stylus tip has also been downsized, resulting in a significant weight reduction. It can trace the grooves of records more accurately, allowing you to faithfully reproduce even the finest details of the sound. The change to a threaded ridge makes it easier to attach to an integrated arm, and the addition of a V-shaped cut to the protector as a guide for stylus positioning improves visibility of the stylus tip when dropping the needle onto the record.
