Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML/H Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit

AT-VMx Dual Moving Magnet • Nude Microlinear Stylus • Tapered Aluminum Cantilever • PCUHD Coils • Die-Cast Aluminum Body • AT-LT10 Headshell • OFC Lead Wires • ½-Inch Mount

Premium Microlinear Cartridge and Headshell Package for Detailed Vinyl Playback

The Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML/H Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit pairs Audio-Technica's premium AT-VM740xML Dual Moving Magnet cartridge with the lightweight AT-LT10 universal headshell, creating a high-performance package ready for installation on compatible turntables. Its nude Microlinear stylus traces intricate record-groove modulations with exceptional precision, helping retrieve fine musical information while maintaining excellent performance across the record surface.

The updated AT-VMx cartridge architecture incorporates paratoroidal coils, PCUHD copper conductors, a center shielding plate, a tapered aluminum cantilever and a rigid die-cast aluminum housing. The AT-LT10 headshell complements the cartridge with lightweight aluminum construction, OFC lead wires, elongated mounting slots and a silicone-coated finger lift, providing a convenient platform for accurate cartridge alignment and easy headshell changes.

Highlights & Benefits

  • Nude Microlinear Stylus — The advanced 2.2 × 0.12 mil Microlinear profile closely follows the shape of the record groove for excellent detail retrieval, high-frequency tracking and reduced distortion.
  • New-Generation AT-VMx Architecture — Dual magnets are positioned to correspond with the left and right channels of the stereo groove, supporting precise stereo imaging and extended frequency response.
  • PCUHD Paratoroidal Coils — Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability conductors and fewer coil turns improve responsiveness and transient reproduction while helping create a spacious, three-dimensional presentation.
  • Die-Cast Aluminum Cartridge Body — A rigid aluminum housing helps suppress unwanted vibration and resonance for a cleaner signal from the stylus and generator system.
  • AT-LT10 Headshell Included — The lightweight aluminum headshell includes OFC lead wires, adjustable mounting slots and a silicone-coated finger lift for accurate setup and convenient handling.

Technology & Design

Microlinear Groove Contact — The nude Microlinear stylus has an extremely small curvature radius that allows it to track high-frequency groove information with greater precision than conventional elliptical or conical profiles, including difficult inner-groove passages.

Paratoroidal Generator System — Audio-Technica's paratoroidal coil design improves generator efficiency, helping optimize channel separation, channel balance and transient response. A center shield plate positioned between the left and right channels further reduces electrical crosstalk.

Tapered Aluminum Cantilever — The tapered aluminum-pipe cantilever reduces moving mass near the stylus tip, allowing groove movement to be transmitted rapidly to the cartridge generator.

Interchangeable AT-VMx Stylus Platform — The cartridge body supports a broad selection of compatible AT-VMx replacement styli, allowing listeners to change stylus profiles without replacing the complete cartridge body.

FAQ — Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML/H

What is included with the AT-VM740xML/H?

The package combines an Audio-Technica AT-VM740xML Dual Moving Magnet cartridge with an AT-LT10 universal headshell. The cartridge is supplied with its AT-VMN40xML nude Microlinear stylus.

What type of phono preamp does the AT-VM740xML/H require?

The AT-VM740xML is a moving-magnet cartridge and should be connected to a compatible MM phono input or MM phono preamplifier. Audio-Technica specifies a recommended load impedance of 47kΩ and load capacitance of 150–250pF.

What replacement stylus does the AT-VM740xML use?

The direct replacement stylus is the Audio-Technica AT-VMN40xML. The AT-VMx cartridge body is also compatible with most interchangeable stereo replacement styli in the AT-VMx family, providing additional stylus-profile options.

Will the AT-VM740xML/H fit my turntable?

The AT-LT10 is a universal ½-inch headshell designed for compatible tonearms using the standard removable headshell connection. Turntable tonearm compatibility, cartridge-and-headshell mass, tracking force, overhang and alignment should always be verified before installation.
