The Audio-Technica VM740ML represents the pinnacle of the VM cartridge series, combining heritage craftsmanship with contemporary engineering. Dual magnets precisely aligned to stereo groove geometry deliver exceptional channel separation and extended frequency response. The MicroLine® stylus traces record grooves with remarkable precision, capturing subtle musical nuances that conventional styli cannot resolve. Its multilevel profile minimizes record wear while extending stylus longevity. An aluminum tapered cantilever, paratoroidal coils for enhanced efficiency, and a center shield plate between channels work in concert to reduce crosstalk. The die-cast aluminum housing provides vibration isolation and natural electromagnetic shielding, ensuring pristine signal transmission.
