The VM540ML Micro line stylus cartridge is the premier 500 Series VM540ML in Audio-Technica's New VM cartridge line - a line that harks back to A-T's Early days as a manufacturer primarily of high-end phono cartridges, while also incorporating today's advanced technology. Like all VM cartridges, the VM540ML is equipped with dual magnets that are positioned to match the left and right channels in the stereo record groove for outstanding channel separation and extended frequency response. The cartridge's Micro line stylus allows it to Trace the record groove with incredible accuracy, resulting in nuanced audio reproduction that elliptical and conical styli simply can't match. The stylus's multilevel shape also wears better than other styli, while reducing the wear on your records. Includes mounting hardware. Mount Half-inch, Vertical Tracking Angle: 23° Dimensions: 17.3 mm H x 17.0 mm W x 28.2 mm D

I just bought an Audio Technica VM540ML to replace an Ortofon 2m red and the improvement was so huge I bought a second one the same day to replace a Rega Elys 2. The sound is so good it’s reinvigorated my love for vinyl. Everyone’s East is different but for me this is an incredible cart and makes vinyl fun again.

I’ve been running a vintage Shure M91ED on my Micro Seiki MR-411 and now I’m looking towards upgrading to get better sound. I’d love some recommendations in the sub $300 price range. I mostly listen to rock, blues, jazz, but I have a little bit of everything.

Recommendations for a cartridge upgrade.

I've been inside a few 40 year old Technics turntables and they've been well built, and still going strong to this day. In terms of cartridges, I've recently replaced my Ortofon 2M Blue with an Audio-Technica VM540ML. I'd say the AT is an improvement over the 2M Blue. The Blue sounded a bit forward in the midrange recessed in the treble where as the 540ML sounded much more even throughout the whole range

Hi all, long time lurker first tim poster.

I’m looking to purchase a mid-level turntable to replace my Sony PSHX500. 

I’m relatively new to vinyl and Hi-Fi, only started on the journey at the beginning of the pandemic. My set up is an Audiolab 6000A integrated amp paired with Wharfedale Evo 4.1 bookshelf speakers.

I’m looking to upgrade the Sony turntable but don’t have the resources to go too high-end. I’ve done a bit of research and have narrowed my shortlist down to the Technics SL1500c and the Pro-Ject X1.  

Ultimately, I’m looking for a turntable that will provide an improvement to the sound I’m getting from the Sony and the option to upgrade in the future. I will be sticking with the Phono stage in the Audiolab for now, but may buy a separate phono preamp in the future.

I figured I’d get the views of the Turntable community. I guess the key questions would be: are the shortlisted turntables any good? What cart should I ultimately look to pair with either turntable? And will they last a long time? Any other advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

Decisions, decisions

  It *IS* a nice sounding cartridge, it just isn't much better for the price.  Oh and as for the stylus replacement option, do not take the bait. The stylus is about 80% of the entire cost of the cartridge. I would rather just buy a new cartridge if I wore out a stylus for the cost

 So I played around with impedance and capacitance settings on my preamplifier and discovered this cartridge seems to produce better high-end at 100pF.  After all this tinkering, I am a bit disappointed, there is just very little if any noticeable improvement in sound quality for a cartridge costing $70 more than the AT-120 (replaced by VM530).

.it sounded about the same as the AT-120 it replaced - it has a little less volume.

I can't tell much difference between this cartridge and an older AT-120 (replaced by the VM530)

 But that is true with the installation of ANY new cartridge  Once the cartridge is properly mounted to the headshell and the headshell is mounted to the tonearm, you need to set the tracking force to the recommended amount. In the case of the newer AT cartridges it is 1.8 - 2.2 grams

Step up from my at-120eb cartridge

I don't write many reviews, but I felt compelled to write one after trying out this cartridge. I have a vintage Marantz 6200 turntable and had a Shure cartridge on it. I replaced the Shure with the VM540ML and it's a night and day difference. I'm not going to attempt to use fancy "audiophile" verbiage, but I will say my records have a much fuller and more dynamic sound

 I replaced the Shure with the VM540ML and it's a night and day difference. I'm not going to attempt to use fancy "audiophile" verbiage, but I will say my records have a much fuller and more dynamic sound. The bass response is better and deeper, mids are clearer and the noise floor of records seems quieter. Prior to the new cartridge, it was obvious when I was listening to vinyl versus listening to audio from a digital source

 The bass response is better and deeper, mids are clearer and the noise floor of records seems quieter. Prior to the new cartridge, it was obvious when I was listening to vinyl versus listening to audio from a digital source. The new cartridge brings the gap in sound quality much closer together, but of course while keeping that vinyl sound everyone loves. Amazing cartridge for the price

 The price tag of the 150 comes in at around $300 so it's certainly a more expensive cart and at $300 I certainly wouldn't classify this as you know a standard cart by any means. This is a much more sophisticated stand-up from its predecessor. Obviously people have found that we really like the nag carts and so that's one of the reasons that we go with these. These are going to be a lot more pricey than some of like your standard cartridges but at this time let me go ahead and we'll do a quick audio comparison

 It's much deeper, the dynamics are far more extended, stronger mid-range which provides more coherent like vibrant sounds for sure, greater separation compared to the predecessor of the 110. You know at some point I will do a comparison between the 110 and the 150 because I mean I can tell you guys for sure that the 110 is definitely still a really great cartridge but yeah the 150 really seems so far anyway to really be living up to its to its name in the example you know. You know is it worth $300? You know I think that I think that if you are more serious about you know vinyl records and listening to your music and getting the best experience that you possibly can I think that there is something to be said for the 150 in comparison to other you know cartridges. I think that especially if you you know have the means of being able to get one of these I think that it can be a significantly better upgrade

 Yeah it's a really great cartridge and I hope that you guys have enjoyed this this quick review and at some point here really soon I'm gonna have some stylus drops done of this new cartridge that's providing hopefully better audio quality and sound to the channel. Thanks so much for watching, have a great day!

A bit scared to take a chance but that's fine

A Quick Review: Nagaoka MP-150 Phono Cartridge

 \- budget for a good cartridge with a good styles in the $150 to $300 range: AT-VM95ML or better, like the AT-VM540ML or Ortofon 2M Blue or Bronze, Nagaoka MP-150, Goldring 1042  or better. Even if you buy a second hand turntable, usually you will have to buy at least a new stylus and you might as well choose a cartridge to your liking.

I’m looking to upgrade my turntable to one in the price range of $1k-$2k. What are my best options and should I be getting one that requires a pre-amplifier that’s not built in? If so which one?

Perfect match for my Technics SL 1200 Mk2 turntable. Easy to setup too. Sounds so good I can’t stop playing my records.

Great sounding cartridge
