AUDIO-TECHNICA VM740ML CARTRIDGE

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.

Realistic R8010 belt

I can confirm that this is the correct size belt for this turntable.

LP Tunes Order

I received the replacement Ion turntable belt and diamond stylus in 10 days after the online order. I chose LP Tunes because it is one of the few suppliers for both of these items, and I have ordered from them in the past. I purchased this stylus as a future replacement for the usual ruby stylus and the belt as a spare to use when needed, so I have not had a chance to try these items yet. I am interested to see whether the diamond stylus handles "skips" in the old records better than the ruby stylus.

Replacement stylus

Carrie from LP Tune was amazing to work with.
Thank you LP Tune.

Top quality in every way

Audio Technica’s own production is always well made, but the Jico replacement I got is even better. No messy blobs of cement, perfect alignment, and higher compliance than the original, tracking well at 1.8 grams. Very nice, especially for the asking price.

Stylus for Stanton 681EEE cartridge

Although it came out of the box orange, it still fit and worked perfectly!

Replacement for Kenwood N-67BL N67BL stylus

Good experience with LP Tunes

I needed a replacement for a Kenwood N-67BL stylus. Other store websites were offering replacement styluses, but it was not clear if they were replacements for a N-67BL. The LP Tunes item was clearly labeled for what it is intended to do, and it fits perfectly. I want to also comment on the great customer service by LP TUNES in how they handled a return and exchange, for a separate purchase.
