Audio Technica's VM740ML phono cartridge features a MicroLine stylus which enables extremely accurate groove tracking. The VM740ML is furnished with a die-cast aluminum alloy housing which reduces vibration and parasitic resonance distortion while adding a natural electrical shield. Comparatively, the VM540ML is furnished with a durable low-resonance polymer housing. The housing difference results in a more subtle and refined presentation by the 740ML. Both the VM740ML and VM540ML are equipped with a VMN40ML MicroLine nude stylus that traces the 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.
