can't find any specs

[tommieboy]

I just picked up a Technics SL-DL5 linear TT with a T4P Audio-Technica cartridge on it--a VS 245LP. It has a black colored original AT stylus on it, and the seller tells me that was on the table when HE bought it. I can't find any useful info about this cartridge, on Vinyl Engine, or LP gears websites. I would at least like to know how many mV's it's putting out, and what type of stylus is on it. This is important to me, bc It sounds REALLY good, and I'm guessing that there is "more here than meets the eye" and I'm hoping someone can validate my suspicions! Does anybody know anything about this cartridge? And what the specs were on the stylus?

LP Gear cross-references it to the ATN-122EP, which is the stylus for the AT-122EP cartridge. The VS-245LP was probably just an OEM-branded version of it. It was one of many of Audio-Technica's P-Mount cartridges with a 0.3x0.7 mil elliptical stylus.

vwl: You're a tiny bit off in this case. A "renamed" AT122EP (with navy blue instead of the caramel coloured plastic holder) would be the VS235EP instead.


tb: That's a "renamed" AT122LP, just with black instead of white plastic holder. Currently you can find a complete spec sheet for the VS2xxP family in the pics over there: https://archiwum.allegro.pl/oferta/...dio-technica-vs245lp-liniowa-i7149844269.html

ATN 132EP is a very nice replacement for the VS series of cartridges.
