VM540ML AUDIO-TECHNICA CREPLACEMENT FOR AUDIO-TECHNICA (AT-440MLA AT 440MLA) AT440MLA CARTRIDGE
- AT440's Provenance of Excellence: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Editors Choice Award The Absolute Sound March Issue 231, 241, 251, 261, 271, 281.

With the formidable VM540ML phono cartridge, Audio-Technica has replaced and superseded—at a more affordable price—the highly regarded AT440's (retail: $390.00) musical excellence that rightfully should be compared with moving magnets costing up to $500. Yes, it is that good. The Audio-Technica VM5440ML's excellence lies in the suitable employment of advanced designs uniquely available to Audio-Technica because of its rich technical history and production capabilities:

 

Audio-Technica's Vector-Aligned Dual Magnet design, which uses two tiny magnets to achieve ideal geometry and low magnet mass, for excellent channel separation and extended frequency response.

The Audio-Technica VMN40ML's MicroLine stylus produces more accurately rendered high frequency response with less wear and distortion than elliptical or conventional linear contact styli. The small curving rate of the MicroLine stylus enables it to track and playback the inner part of the record groove that other styli can hardly maintain. Also the curving rate of the MicroLine stylus does not change until the stylus is almost worn unlike that of conventional styli which increases as they are used. Accordingly, the MicroLine stylus has a much longer average playing life. It plays better, longer.

ViVid Line replacement for Shure m97xe cartridge

The stylus is amazing. The original stylus needed some adjustments. It was a bit harsh in the mid to higher. The new ViVid Line is awesome. No need to EQ needed. Everything pops out and doesn't cause fatigue. Nice lows, mids, and highs. If you what to replace/ update you Shure m97xe, this is it. Maybe a bit pricey but well worth it.

Perfect replacement

This replacement stylus has the same dimensions as the original, and fit perfectly. My vinyl records sounds wonderful now.

It's The Correct Belt.

Not much to say. The Previous belt became brittle and snapped, and I'm sure this one will too, one day. But for now, It's exactly what my record player needed.
