The strength of an Audio-Technica AT VM95E
This turntable is equipped with a TP 72 tone arm and a pre-mounted Audio-Technica AT VM95E cartridge. The newly developed carbon tone arm combines lightness and strength, and also helps to limit vibrations. The AT VM95E phono cell is an asset of the turntable, thanks to its technicality and its performances: equipped with a double magnet MM type generator (the coils adopt a para-toroidal shape and are made of high purity OFC copper (99.99997%)) and with a VM technology (based on the use of two magnets placed in a V shape (Audio-Technica Vector Aligned technology), the magnetic performances of the cell are assured. Finally, the cell offers a reduction in sound distortion thanks to an isolation plate located between the coils, and also guarantees linear sound reproduction from 20 Hz to 22 kHz.
