Product Summary
The Audio-Technica AT-VMN40xML is a high-performance replacement stylus designed for the AT-VM740xML cartridge and compatible VM-series cartridges that use interchangeable stylus assemblies. Replacing the stylus restores the cartridge’s original tracking accuracy and sound quality without needing to replace the entire cartridge body.
It features a 2.2 × 0.12 mil MicroLine diamond stylus mounted on a tapered aluminium cantilever. This advanced stylus shape closely resembles the cutting stylus used when records are mastered, allowing it to track grooves with exceptional precision and retrieve fine musical detail from vinyl records.
The MicroLine profile also helps reduce inner-groove distortion and distributes pressure more evenly within the groove, helping minimise record wear while maintaining clear, detailed playback across the entire record surface.
