Replacement Stylus for VM530 Cartridges

The Audio-Technica AT-VMN30XEN is a nude elliptical replacement stylus finished in orange. It is designed for owners of the AT-VM530xEN or VM530EN cartridges who need a fresh tip without replacing the entire cartridge body. The 0.3 x 0.7 mil profile tracks grooves with precision.

Upgrade from Worn or Bonded Tips

This stylus replaces a worn original or a bonded elliptical tip on the compatible cartridges. The nude construction puts the diamond directly on the cantilever, reducing mass for better transient response. The jump is worth it when high-frequency detail has dulled or record wear becomes a concern.

Straightforward User Installation

Installation is a simple pull-off, push-on action that requires no tools or alignment gauges beyond the cartridge's existing setup. The standard tracking force range is 1.8 to 2.2 g with 2.0 g as the nominal setting. The main risk is applying side pressure to the cantilever during the swap, which can bend the delicate arm.
