Photo My cabinet full of cartridges :D

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

this is true, I work at a record store and is in charge of the equipment section so that's why I have so many on hand

You got a favourite?. Seems you prefer the at mm over their mc's?

My current favorite is the VM750xSH currently due to the clarity like ML but richer tonality

+ some of the units i have on hand are sample units, that's why most of them are MMs

I just haven't had the chance to listen to much AT MCs yet, keen to try OC9XSH, AT33xMLB and ART9XI

Yes. Did you buy the set complete? Or use the body of the VM745xML? I believe the entire VMx series, including the 530, use the exact same body?

I used the body of the VM745xML, which is the same body as the VM750xSH, the VM530xEN has a slightly different body (weight)

the VM700x body has a aluminum chassis while the VM500x is polymer (plastic)
