Beef up your turntable's performance with this replacement cartridge. By stacking two cores, this cartridge improves high frequencies and reduces crosstalk.

Audio-Technica's AT100E VM stereo cartridge features a structure that improves performance of the vibration system, allowing the stylus perfect contact to the record surface. Additionally, it adopts a lossless Paratoroidal generator coil system to their cartridge bodies that results in peak generating efficiency. Stacking two cores makes further improvements to high frequency characteristics by separating the right-and-left channels from the center shield plate, resulting in reduced electrical cross talk. The VM type AT100-series' dual magnet vibration and generation systems have been highly praised all over the world and have become a long-selling series.

I bought this cart to replace an old Empire cart on a used Technics turntable I recently picked up on the cheap. I wanted something that I could use for older records, as I have a 440MLA on my main table. This carts performance was a pleasant surprise! It's a little less detailed on the highs than the 440, but it's pretty close! The bass is astonishing with this cart, much better than the 440. Midrange is about the same. I got this cart for $65 with zZounds price match! If you want 90% of the 440 for less than half the price, get this cart. You may be pleasantly surprised!
