This may be because the kind of stylus used, which is a microline as opposed to the elliptical stylus used by the Denons.ĭespite being very detailed it doesn't sound agressive at all, I find sound balanced, with deep bass and wide soundstage despite the rated by the manufacturer separation between channels of only 28 dB.įor me the new Audio Technica VM540ML is a new great sound, bargain priced cartridge on the same league as the Denon DL-110 that at least in my opinion outperforms the Denon DL-110 (or the discontinued DL-160) for around the same price, with higher output and better sound retrieval. The VM540ML sounds very detailed, I can hear details, ambiance, low level sounds I couldn't before with the Denon DL-160 or DL-110. Legendary sound quality Get the most from every track, every time. The vinyl re-revolution Denon turntables let both new enthusiasts and seasoned collectors enjoy a truly amazing listening experience. I think the key words of its sound is detail retrieval. Denon Turntables are built on more than 110 years of innovation Truly lossless audio Hear your music as it was intended to be heard. So, how does it sound? The short answer would be "better than the Denon DL-110 or the discontinued DL-160" and getting a better signal to noise ration as the AT VM540ML has a higher output than either the Denon DL-160 or DL-110. I was first warned by some here about Audio Technica's cartridges being bright if inductance goes over 200 pF, it musn't be the case on my set up as the new AT VM540ML doesn't sound bright at all. I'm using the AT VM540ML with a Goldring GR-1 turntable from 2006, a rebadged Rega Planar 1 and an EAR 834 "clone" tube Phono preamp with two Matsushita 12AX7 tubes and one Matsushita 12AU7 tube which is used as a "buffer tube". I got it a week ago so it must have around 20 or 30 hours of use, I don't think it's broken in yet. Now that Denon is showing some interest in record players again.
He has run out of them and he doesn't know when or if he will get more. it might be worth a flyer to see what auto turntables were like back in the day. Denon focuses on producing turntables that produce a pure, clear sound that will lure both longtime lovers of vinyl and those new to the vinyl world.

I got it on the cheap on Ebay from a Japanese seller, only 200$ with free shipping. Weighted, belt-driven platter supports 33 1/3 rpm, 45 rpm or 78 rpm records with precision thats faithful to the original recording. I finally decided to get an Audio Technica VM540ML, an inexpensive MM cart from a new range or updated range.
In the meantime I read around the web about several carts that may fill my tastes and my price range. After living around 8 years with my old and beloved Denon DL-160 (long story about how it lasted that long, short story, I was only 2 or 3 months a year at home to use it) and a short-lived Denon DL-110 which had an early death as it lasted only 8 months and Denon themselves recognized it was faulty, that it had a manufacturing defect so I got my money back, I got a Sumiko Pearl as a temporal cartridge that I didn't like at all.
