How AT-VM540ML Works

Line-contact styli ride deeper in the groove with more contact area — more information, less record wear, and much less setup forgiveness. The VM540ML rewards careful alignment and clean records; on dirty vinyl it reveals everything you neglected. The upgrade from the VM95E is a stylus swap — the same body, a different hobby.
