Most likely 'out of stock'.
Amazon says its on the way.
Stock went from 3 to 2 . . . .
Amazon often price stuff up wrongly then after a while they realise their mistake and correct it, it’s a steal at that price for someone with the money.
A couple of years back I bought a carry case for an archery compound bow off Amazon for £30 which had an RRP of £205, needless to say within days it was listed at the proper price.

Noodling around on the net after having my curiosity stoked by the AT95VMSH I came across another Audio Technica cartridge, the ATVM540ML. Reading reviews of this little beauty has wetted my appetite even more. Has anyone used this cartridge and if so what are your thoughts. The review I read suggested that it was extremely good and gave many top MC cartridges a run for their money, not that many MC cartridges can compete with the price tag at just £220!.

Haha, indeed it has!! Only on Monday mind so only had a few hours on it after setup and installation.
I'm using it on an AT LP5 (underrated although appreciated) then through an Ortofon T20 MKII SUT then into a firebottle modded EAR834p (clone) phono stage.
It does not sound like a £300 cart so far. Straight out the box it is super accurate and with just lovely analogue dynamics.
Really rather happy with it so far. Reminds me of my Benz Micro Ace SL but for less than half the price (especially the price I paid!!).
I'll do a proper write up soon but here she is in action (camera phone) . . .

Glad you’re pleased with it and not surprised, I had it’s granddad the ATOC7 on a Townshend Rock for over 20 years and still believe it’s the best cartridge I’d ever heard particularly after I had it rebodied by Stilton Audio.
I’m not sure what it’s like for depth probably 17.5mm, you may find on the ATLP5 that the arm tilts down a bit from arm pivot to stylus, I have to use a 3mm shim between cartridge and shell to get the arm parallel to the record, the Goldring E3 I use atm is also 17.5mm deep.
I totally agree about the ATLP5 being underrated, for the money it’s a bargain and runs my Rega very close, btw I’ve added damping material to the underside of my platter which banishes 90%+ of the ring, it also adds some extra flywheel effect as well. It gave a slight W&F improvement when checked with the RPM app.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5a514d2050.jpg
