Elliptical Styli
To reduce the tracking distortion and pinch-effect of a conical stylus, the elliptical stylus is made with a smaller effective radius to overcome these two conditions and provide more detailed audio content.

On the Para-toroidal generating system, since leakage of magnetic flux in this continuous and unitised magnetic circuit is low, a superb linearity can be obtained. Permeability of the cores is also optimised through the use of laminated cores.
Centre shield plate between stereo channels
A permalloy centre shield plate enables the effective separation of left and right channels, suppressing electrical crosstalk to below 40dB

    Replacement & Upgrade Styli
Even the finest diamond stylus becomes worn after an extended period of play. The styli in our VM cartridges are no different. But it is easy to replace the stylus and continue to use your cartridge. Our renewed VM cartridges have 7 styli and 3 types of bodies to choose from. Not only is it not necessary to buy an entirely new cartridge, but you can also enjoy the experience of upgrading your stylus or trying a new cartridge/stylus combination.

(1) Since SP records only have monaural modulation, combining an SP stylus with a stereo body would be recommended only when used with a dedicated archiving phono Preamplifier-equaliser. These incorporate various features to allow Mono reduction from Stereo inputs (Mono L+R, Mono L, Mono R, L&R Variable Mix). When an SP record is played with a standard Stereo Phono Preamplifier, it is recommended that a VM600 body is used for signal to noise ratio optimisation and to minimise record surface noise.
(2) For best results when playing vintage mono LPs, Audio-Technica recommends using the VMN510CB conical stylus. A line contact or elliptical type stylus can be considered if you are sure that the dimensional groove construction of the LP(s) can safely handle these stylus tip shapes.
* *Lifetime of the replacement stylus is approx. 300 to 500 hours for Conical, 300 hours for Elliptical, 1000 hours for MicroLine®, and 800 hours for Shibata and Special Line Contact. 10

@bkwa1959 thought yours was @dirtmudd s reply. Those are mostly newer mm's that you listed. Never seen an AT that looked like that with the side dimple. I got my first in the mid 80s at Sound Systems on South B. @joessportster, try sending that pic to AT USA . They might be of help.

 

 

It looks like the Signet audio technia..
