Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The AT-VM670xSP is a Dual Moving Magnet cartridge intended for 78 RPM monaural records. Its mono body terminates the left and right channels, and its dual magnets are internally connected. The cartridge uses a 3.0 mil conical bonded stylus, PCUHD coils and a low-resonance polymer housing. Threaded inserts streamline mounting on a standard 1/2-inch headshell, while the flip-up protector includes a V-cut reference for cueing.
