Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy remarkably accurate tracking, separation, and performance when listening to vinyl with this dual-moving magnet phono cartridge. The 1/2-inch mount cartridge features a MicroLine shaped diamond stylus that tracks portions of the groove that other styli simply cannot reach, ensuring that high-frequency passages sound clear and crisp. The multi-level shape also wears remarkably evenly, extending the lives of both the record and the stylus itself (up to 1,000 hours). In addition, the AT440ML boasts a small curving rate that improves playback over the entire 5 Hz to 32 kHz frequency range, even for the inner part of the record groove. Other features include a gold-plated beryllium cantilever for added durability and a tracking force of 0.8 to 1.6 grams. The stylus is covered by a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

Good detail...low tracking force
An excellent sound, with plenty of clean, high frequency detail. Much less tracking distortion that I'm used to. My only gripe is the low tracking force...1.4g means it is easy for clumsy people, like me, to bump the stylus out of the groove.

Beware!!! Not what I ordered
I agree with Elder C.
If you try to buy this item, you'll never get it.
The seller send me new model AT440MLa, but it's worse than AT440ML.
The seller (Electronics Expo) don't answer to e-mail.
They should be ashamed
So if you want new cheep model - buy this, if you want real 440ML, find somewhere else.

Discontinued
This AT440ML cartridge has been discontinued and is no longer available. The replacement is AT440MLa. If you order this item you will be getting he 440MLa which has a frequency response of 20Hz-20KHz, and not the 5Hz-32KHz advertised. The seller (Electronics Expo) does not tell you this or respond when they are emailed. Be Aware.
