Audio Technica's VM 750 SH MM cartridge is derived from the famous Audio Technica AT 150SA cartridge. It is partly derived from the innovations and technology developed on the manufacturer's new high-end models, like Audio Technica's VM 760 SLC cartridge.
Audio Technica VM 750 SH: VM Technology
It uses the manufacturer's generator that is standard on the 700 series.
It features dual magnets that use the 'VM' technology. Instead of using one large magnet, the two magnets are arranged in a 'V'.
They are accurately positioned according to the positions of the left and right channels.
The VM design of this AudioTechnica cartridge makes for better channel separation and frequency response.
Para-toroidal coils with high purity PCOCC copper conductors improve the efficiency of the generator and offer great linearity.
A shielding plate has been added between the two coils, hence reducing crosstalk between the channels.
Audio Technica VM 750 SH: Needle
The VM 750 SH comes with a great Shibata stylus.
This very specific and complex profile was designed for 4-channel LPs.
It also exhibits a better sound reproduction for high frequencies, but not only! The rest of the spectrum is particularly precise with an almost inaudible surface noise.
It is mounted onto a conical aluminium cantilever. Its weight has been reduced for more velocity and hence better harmonic reproduction and dynamics.
Moreover, the tilting stylus guard built into the Audio Technica VM 750 SH cartridge is very practical.
Audio Technica VM 750 SH: Body
The structure of the cartridge is made of die-cast aluminium with a gold plating.
It is heavier than polymer and improves the phono cartridge's mechanical and vibratory behaviour. It delivers a more precise and subtler sound quality.
The connectors of the AudioTechnica VM 750 SH are gold-plated.
Its weight, tracking force and high compliance make it compatible with most good quality tonearms.
Audio Technica VM 750 SH: Listening and test review
The sound reproduction with this Audio Technica VM 750 SH is quite similar to the famous AT 150SA MM cartridge. Most of its features have been improved.
It has great tracking ability. Surface noise is practically non-existent.
The top of the spectrum is very precise and very well defined. It exhibits a host of details without being overly present.
The mids are clear, open and airy. Reproduction is anything but dark or dull. However, the overall balance is a bit softer with more texture than the older version, already a great product!
Like with all Audio Technica's cartridges, the bass is perfectly controlled and articulate. In terms of performance, it is very similar to the MC cartridge for a similar budget!
Audio Technica's VM 750 SH cartridge now ranks among the 2 or 3 best MM cartridges on the market!

Customer reviews
Superbe cellule
Une superbe cellule, je le recommande. Je n'etais pas satisfait avec le at-vm95e qui ete livrer avec mon appareil mais avec celui la oui :)
Exceptionnel
Ouf comment dire je suis pas un grand spécialiste , mais là franchement la nuit et le jour avec mon ancienne cellule certes à bout de souffle , je parlerais pas de grave ni médium rien de tout cela mais tout simplement de qualité d'écoute et encore j'ai pas fait le rodage , je redécouvre avec une immense satisfaction mes anciens vinyles . Un investissement certes mais franchement je ne regrette pas mon achat .
Un immense MERCI a ma platine.com , des échanges par mails même les jours fériés ou le dimanche , franchement Franck félicitation ça donne surtout pas envie d'aller chercher ailleurs .
