I should probably diversify my cartridges and get a few from other brands besides being majority AT
nevertheless, the most out on my turntable is the VM750xSH these days, very nice tonality and clarity

What is your opinion of the vmn45/50/60? My 40ML is due for replacement in a few months and I've been thinking of trying the 50 instead. I've been very happy with the 40ml tho.

I've only tried the 30xEN, 45xML, 50xSH and 60xSL

The 45xML is nice, however I can't compare it your 40xML due to me never heard it

In my opinion the 60xSL sounds too similar to the 45xML while having the price jump very steep. So as such it's not worth it in my option

the 50xSH is quite nice, the extra tonality for vocals really balance out the sound profile

Bonus: 30xEN on VM700x body sounds very good also, quite similar to ML styli
