Stereo Cartridge with Bonded Round Stylus and Aluminum Pipe Cantilever for Record Players Audio-Technica AT-VM510xCB VM-type

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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) A diverse lineup of styli to meet your sound quality needs: This is an entry-level VM-type cartridge equipped with a bonded circular stylus. The circular stylus provides stable tracing performance under a variety of conditions. 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 unitized and has a seamless core, so the magnetic flux is maintained 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 design makes it easier to mount a cartridge on an integrated arm. Improved visibility of the stylus tip during operation: With conventional VM-type cartridges, we received feedback that it was difficult to see the stylus tip when dropping the stylus on a record. With this model, while ensuring compatibility with previous models (replacement styli and bodies), we have added a V-shaped cut to the protector as a guide for stylus positioning, improving the visibility of the stylus tip. A bonded round stylus model with stable tracing performance. 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 marks the first renewal in nine years since 2016, and the lineup now includes a wide range of models, from high-grade models with line contact styli to standard models with elliptical or 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 number of winding turns has also been reduced, enhancing responsive, light sound quality and musical expression. The cartridge's threaded design also simplifies installation on the integrated arm. A V-shaped cut has been added to the protector as a stylus positioning guide, improving visibility of the stylus tip when dropping the stylus on the record.
