Audio-Technica AT-VM760xSL Dual Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge (Special Line Contact)

The Audio-Technica AT-VM760xSL is engineered to extract exceptional warmth, realism, and fine detail from vinyl recordings. As part of the advanced AT-VMx series, this cartridge combines a Special Line Contact stylus with a solid boron cantilever to achieve outstanding groove contact, ultra-precise tracking, and reduced record wear. The result is a highly detailed, open, and dynamic soundstage with excellent high-frequency extension and channel separation.

Designed to closely replicate the geometry of professional cutting heads, the AT-VM760xSL uses a true 90° V-shaped dual-magnet configuration for superior accuracy and stereo imaging. A rigid die-cast aluminum body minimizes unwanted resonance, while high-purity PCUHD copper coils deliver faster transient response and richer harmonic detail—making this cartridge an ideal upgrade for serious analog listeners.
