Audio-Technica VM540ML Moving Magnet Cartridge,Red

Product Information

My favourite combination is the VM500 with the Shibata stylus, I don’t think the extra mass of the VM700 is of great benefit to me, it just looks more garish! The stylus’s multilevel shape also wears better than other styli, while reducing the wear on your records. These two join forces (while adding drums and acoustic bass) to compose a suite of music that neatly flows back and forth between jazz and classical sensibilities. The other older records that show the problem do not appear to be damaged, but, as the noise is usually at the beginning of a side, I think it likely that these carry very light surface damage caused by poor handling in the past. Therefore you will experience a nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply can’t match.

There is also a lot of varied percussion happening in this song and every type was exceedingly specific and distinct in the mix.

During the refurb I could see that the mechanical engineering of the bits that matter - bearing, arm bearings, platter etc. The deeper, now almost midrange, body to the notes was quite palpable and the change up in the performer’s breathing and mouthing was also quite noticeable.One of my favorite live jazz recordings that features Getz playing saxophone at his best, Astrud Gilberto’s beautiful distinctive voice, and top supporting talent including Kenny Burrell on guitar.
