Audio-Technica VM540ML

A little bit disappointed by this cartridge with so good reviews. Under my expectations. Tracking is fantastic, chanell separation is almost incredibile, the details are great, but something is missing, sometime the bass is insufficient, especially for new rock records with a poor recording. Sometimes sound too clinical, sometimes too flat. For example for stoner rock records the bass was not there at is supposed to be, the room is not filled with sound. Maybe I made something wrong with the alignment when installed it, or my system is not for this cartridge. The same record, at the same parameters sounded better for my ears when was played with Ortofon 2M Blue, Ortofon 2M Blue + DJ E stylus, Nagaoka MP110. But VM 540 ML it is much better than Ortofon Concorde DJ, Goldring Elektra, AT95E, but considering the price I expected much more for this cart. In the first hours of running, the sound was even more disappointing, but after the 50 hours of spinning, there is a huge difference especially for classical music records, jazz records vintage records when a better consideration was given to channel separation a stereophonic image . But for newer records where more bass is in, it performs under 2M Blue. Actually I use this cart for classical music records, 2M Blue for rock records and MP110 for folk & jazz records.

Excellent - sounds great

Részletgazdag, tiszta hangzás, különösen a mély tartományban.

Plusy: AT je vinikající přenoska

V svojej triede je to veľmi dobrá až výborná prenoska. Vyniká výbornou dynamikou a veľmi príjemným a pomerne detailným zvukom. Výstupný signál je pravdepodobne slabší než udáva výrobca. Na výškach je počuť mierny zdvih ktorý ale nemusí vadiť .
