SP Record 78 Bonded Round for Record Players Audio-Technica AT-VM670xSP VM-type Cartridge, Mono, RPM, Stylus, 3.0mil,

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Newly adopted PCUHD*² coil conductor: PCUHD*², which is also used in our Hi-Fi audio cables, is used for the first time in a VM type cartridge. It achieves powerful low-frequency expression and a wide sound field. Furthermore, by reducing the number of turns of the winding, it has been finished with a light sound quality with excellent response. *² PCUHD: Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability (high purity oxygen-free copper wire) A wide selection of styli to meet your sound quality needs: The styli feature a bonded round tip with a 3.0 mil radius of curvature, which fits perfectly into the wide grooves of SP records, ensuring stable playback. Mono-wired cartridge body: By wiring the left and right channels of the stereo cartridge body, the vertical component of the record groove, which is unnecessary for mono playback, is canceled, resulting in clearer sound image positioning and reduced surface noise during mono playback. The body uses a paratoroidal coil structure: The AT-VMx series features a unique power generation system called a paratoroidal coil structure. The paratoroidal structure is unitized and has a seamless core, so the magnetic flux is maintained within the specially wound coil. This results in improved power generation efficiency and excellent linearity. Threaded cartridge mounting holes: Compatible with integrated tone arms, which are widely used in the global Hi-Fi audio market. The new threaded design makes it easier to mount a cartridge on an integrated arm. This model is a cartridge designed specifically for 78 rpm SP records. Audio-Technica's top-of-the-line lineup of proprietary VM-type cartridges has been reborn as the "AT-VM700x/600x/500x" series ("AT-VMx" series). This marks the first renewal in nine years since 2016, and the lineup now includes a wide range of models, from high-grade models with line contact styli to standard models with elliptical and round styli. In addition to the best sound quality in the history of VM-type cartridges, ease of use has also been improved. All models now feature PCUHD (high-purity oxygen-free copper) coil conductors, delivering powerful low-frequency response and a wide sound field. The reduced number of winding turns enhances responsive, light sound quality and musical expression. The mono cartridge also uses mono wiring based on the stereo cartridge, enabling bright, realistic playback while maintaining stable playback. The AT-VM670xSP is a dedicated model featuring a bonded round styli with a 3.0 mil curvature radius for its stylus tip, compatible with SP records. Also, The change to a threaded cartridge makes it easier to attach to the integrated arm, and the addition of a V-shaped cut to the protector as a guide for stylus positioning improves visibility of the stylus tip when dropping the needle onto the record.
