About the VM760SLC
The Audio-Technica VM760SLC is the flagship model in Audio-Technica’s VM cartridge line, combining heritage high-end phono cartridge design with modern technology. It features a dual moving magnet design with magnets positioned to match the left and right stereo channels for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response. The cartridge uses an ultra-lightweight special line contact stylus with a nude rectangular shank that traces record grooves with high accuracy and minimal abrasion, resulting in nuanced audio reproduction, low distortion, and reduced record wear. The die-cast aluminum alloy housing reduces vibration and provides electrical shielding. It includes mounting hardware and accessories such as screws, nuts, washers, a brush, a non-magnetic screwdriver, and lead wires.
