Review on 🧑 Audio-Technica VM530EN Dual Moving Magnet Elliptical Stylus Stereo Turntable Cartridge in Vibrant Orange by Joz Lowe

Revainrating 1 out of 5

You will regret it. suitable for electronic music, DJs and karaoke

If you have access to another stylus and have heard literally every other stylus, you will find that the VM530EN is badly lacking. This is VERY overpriced. Paying 50€ would be too expensive. Of course, I adjusted it with a Stevenson protractor, but the result was the same: a flat, poor-quality sound. I really regret the purchase (thanks to the plethora of positive reviews here) and after hearing how weak it sounds I did more research and educated myself on many other excellent (and less expensive) models like the Nagaoka MP-110 and others by Audio Technica. Mind you, I haven't compared it to these others yet. I compared it to several Ortofon cartridges I already had: Arkiv and Concorde. Both are superior to the VM530EN.
