Audio-Technica VM670SP Stereo Turntable Cartridge for 78 RPM

Rediscover those old 78 RPM phonograph records. This specialty stylus has a broad 3.0 mil tip to track 78 grooves and reproduce them in all their mono glory.

Overview

With a specialized body and internal wiring dedicated to monaural sound reproduction, plus a large curvature radius conical stylus, the VM670SP cartridge is designed for playing 78 RPM records. Part of the 600 Series in Audio-Technica's VM cartridge line - a line that harks back to A-T's early days as a manufacturer primarily of high-end phono cartridges - the VM670SP is equipped with dual magnets that are internally connected to reduce record noise and obtain a highly focused "center" sound image that stereo cartridges can't provide. The stylus's 3.0 mil curvature radius makes it an excellent choice for playing 78s from a wide variety of eras. Includes mounting hardware.

Features:

- VM dual magnet cartridge with 3.0 mil conical stylus
- Aluminum cantilever
- Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency
- Mono body terminating left and right channels reduces surface noise
