With a separate left-right design in a 90\u00b0 V-shaped structure that seeks to follow that of the engraving head used to create vinyl masters, these new cells are screwable from the top without nuts and are compatible with almost all arms and cell holders on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nine for their launch, the AT-VMx cells cover a wide price range, starting with the AT-VM510xC (light blue; 119 \u20ac), like all the others already designed around pure PCUHD\u00ae (Pure Copper Ultra High Drawability) coils, but with a round-section conical diamond bonded in a metal joint to the cantilever. The AT-VM520xEB version (dark blue; 129 \u20ac) acquires a rounded elliptical diamond, still bonded to an aluminium cantilever, while the AT-VM530xEN (orange, 219 \u20ac) incorporates a full elliptical pure diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to go upmarket again with the AT-VM740xML (red; 269 \u20ac) to acquire a microlinear diamond, then to the AT-VM745xML (burgundy; 339 \u20ac) to find a solid boron cantiler, 2.5 times faster at passing information than the aluminium tube. The AT-VM750xSH (brown; 369 \u20ac) features a Shibata diamond, followed by the AT-VM760xSL (black; 629 \u20ac) with a Special Line Contact diamond. Two mono versions complete the range, the AT-VM610xMONO (light blue; 129 \u20ac) and the AT-VM670xSP (grey; 149 \u20ac), bearing in mind that for all stereo cartridges, the heads are interchangeable and allow you to start by investing in an entry-level model, then modify only the lower part with the diamond and cantilever to improve your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be difficult for us to try out these products before the summer holidays, but we will do our best to produce a test for the September or November magazines, comparing several versions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>18\/06\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1732\" height=\"866\" src=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/VM_compatibility_banner_desktop.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/VM_compatibility_banner_desktop.jpg 1732w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/VM_compatibility_banner_desktop-1280x640.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/VM_compatibility_banner_desktop-980x490.jpg 980w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/VM_compatibility_banner_desktop-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1732px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previewed at the Munich High-End (see our report), the AT-VMx cartridges feature a double vertical moving magnet design.
