REPLACEMENT & UPGRADE STYLI MATRIX
The cartridge becomes worn after an extended period of play(3), even the finest diamond stylus. Our VM cartridges can be used again for a long time by only replacing the stylus. Our renewed VM cartridges series is composed of 7 styli and 3 types of bodies. Not only is it not necessary to buy the cartridge itself, but you can also enjoy the experience of upgrading your stylus, or trying a new cartridge / stylus combination.

Becomes AT-VM610xMONO
AT-VM670xSP
(1) Becomes stereo wiring SP cartridge. Since the SP records only have monaural modulation, using mono body would be recommended. (2) W hen playing the earliest mono LPs, there is a possibility that the stylus will touch the bottom of a record groove and produce unwanted noise. *Lifetime of the replacement stylus is approx. 300 to 500 hours for Conical, 300 hours for Elliptical, 1000 hours for MicroLine ®, and 800 hours for Shibata and Special Line Contact. It is possible to combine an AT-VMx series replacement stylus with a cartridge body from the old VM series, but its performance and sound quality will differ from the latest lineup combinations.
