AT-VM740XML vs AT-VM745XML – What’s the Difference?
1. Price and Positioning
The AT-VM740XML is the entry-level model in the 700 series but still a high-quality choice for audiophiles. It offers excellent sound quality for the price, providing great value for money.
The AT-VM745XML is the more expensive of the two, with a focus on even more finesse and detail. It has slightly better specifications and performance, often seen as a step up from the 740.
2. Stylus Type
Both models use the MicroLine® stylus, which ensures detailed tracking and minimal distortion.
The AT-VM745XML also uses the same MicroLine® stylus, but the 745 has slightly more advanced tuning, allowing it to reproduce more nuances and details in the music, which is especially noticeable with demanding music and complex recordings.
3. Channel Separation
The AT-VM740XML has a channel separation of 25 dB at 1 kHz.
The AT-VM745XML has a slightly improved channel separation of 28 dB at 1 kHz, providing better isolation of channels and a clearer stereo effect. This can be particularly noticeable with more complex music or when used with high-quality equipment.
4. Frequency Range
The AT-VM740XML has a frequency range of 20 Hz - 25 kHz.
The AT-VM745XML extends its frequency range to 27 kHz, meaning it is capable of capturing slightly more details in the highest frequencies, offering more clarity and transparency.
5. Output Voltage
The AT-VM740XML has an output voltage of 3.2 mV, providing a solid signal for most preamps and amplifiers.
The AT-VM745XML has an output voltage of 4.0 mV, offering a stronger signal and is better suited for situations where higher output signal strength is needed (for example, with preamps that have lower sensitivity).
6. Weight
The AT-VM740XML weighs 8.8 g.
The AT-VM745XML is slightly heavier at 9.0 g, which typically means it is more stable when tracking records and less sensitive to impurities.
7. Cantilever
The AT-VM740xML has an aluminum cantilever, which performs well, but the boron cantilever of the VM745xML offers better dynamics and more accurate sound.
The AT-VM745xML has a boron cantilever, which makes it stiffer than aluminum, resulting in less distortion and better precision when tracking the grooves of the record.
Since all the cartridges in the AT-VMx series share the same housing and the stylus can be easily removed, it's possible to try different AT-VMx styli and experiment with various sound characteristics. This provides the flexibility to fine-tune the sound to your personal preferences.
Available replacement styli for the AT-VMx series:
-
AT-VMN10xCB – Conical, bonded, aluminum cantilever
-
AT-VMN20xEB – Elliptical, bonded, aluminum cantilever
