Audio-Technica VM750SH Dual Moving Magnet Stereo Cartridge with Shibata stylus Brown

The media could not be loaded. I bought this to try as an upgrade from the Ortofon 2m blue and what a difference it made to the sound quality,once I set it up on my Technics 1210 LTD. I am also using a Pro-ject DS2 phono preamp with the specs dialled in. Everything is enhanced the Bass, Mids and Treble. The 2m blue is a very good cartridge but this is totally another level.

Very impressed with the huge performance. Set up is worth taking time over - lots of time - and cart took a while to fully sing. Once it had broken in ( 20 hrs ) the sound opened up with huge separation, crisp highs and the singers vocals full and centre stage. A very impressive performance and great value. Love the fact you can just change the styli and upgrade as one supplied mid range ! But for sonic punch styli supplied a winner for overall sonic balance and performance on my system. Only point to be aware off is the styli slides onto the cart and can become loose with a big sonic drop off. This happens if the stylus guard clicked up and down lots so check periodcaly its pushed into cart tightly. Also with the stylus profile it reaches deep into the record grooves so very regular cleaning needed. But this shows just how well it tracks and info that it recovers so a good styli and record cleaning regime needed, not a issue its a mark of the great performance

Lovely clear sound re-defining vinyl. Records will need cleaning though to maximise quality of sound

I really like this cartridge it's worth paying for. I was looking for a cartridge that would match or exceed that of previous Shure V15 and Stanton 881s I have owned. In fact I still own the Shure, and I am glad to say that it does. A really nice cartridge.

An expensive upgrade but we’ll worth it. Currently run in for about 14 hours and getting better with every play. You can hear so much detail. The drums sound at the back with so much detail. All the highs are really singing. At £301 a massive bargain.

Improvement on the Exact cartridge it replaced. Nice that the stylus can be replaced without having to replace entire cartridge.

Channel balance is off and cantilever was twisted clockwise

Always used ortofon and recently upgraded to Bronze....didn't seem significantly better from the silver so gave this a go instead and leaps and bounds above both...so much clarity and depth and far less surface noise which was surprising! Works very nicely with rpm 3....very pleased.
