VM95C – Conical stereo cartridgeThe AT-VM95C, the new Audio-Technica entry model Conical cartridge will replace the legendary AT90 Series models such as AT91, AT91R and CN5625AL Also the AT-VM95C is a “budget†cartridge featuring a conical stylus, the compatibility in the range will allow to upgrade with any of the 4 other LP styli of the Series such as Elliptical, Elliptical Nude, Microlinear and Shibata.
| VM95E – Elliptical stereo cartridgeThe AT-VM95E, the new Audio-Technica entry model Elliptical cartridge will replace the legendary AT95E and take advantage of the developments of the AT95EX introduced in 2015. The AT-VM95E features an improved and distinctive design resulting in a more rigid low resonance housing, and two threaded inserts in the cartridge body enabling it to be mounted to the headshell or on an integral tonearm with just two screws, no nuts.
| VM95EN – Elliptical Nude stereo cartridgeThe AT-VM95EN, features a Nude Elliptical Diamond. The construction of the stylus being a one piece diamond with a round shank inserted in the cantilever creates a lighter and more rigid transmission system than a diamond tip bonded on a round titanium shank such as in the AT-VM95E. Also the use of nude diamond implies a substantial difference in cost, yet the quality of the reproduction will be immediately noticed, specifically in the fidelity of high frequencies and in the quality of the transient responses.

VM95ML – Microlinear stereo cartridgeThe AT-VM95ML, features a Nude Microlinear diamond, not only the Microlinear stylus will permit to double the duration of your stylus.

| VM95SP – 78rpm SP cartridgeSince SP records have monaural modulation, when combining an SP stylus with a stereo body, such as the AT-VM95SP, it is recommended to use the “MONO ON†function “ of your standard Stereo Phono Preamplifier to minimize record surface noise. AT-VM95SP, as stereo cartridge for SP mono records, when used with a dedicated archiving phono preamplifierequalizer incorporating various functions to generate a mono signal from Stereo inputs (Mono L+R, Mono L, Mono R, LR Variable Mix) allows professional archivers to minimize noise and distortion by sampling the least damage side of the grooves from an old record.

it’s ok for the cash the good thing is you can upgrade the stylus which is what i did two days after getting it the conicle is very dull sounding, just get the eliptical or nude you only save a couple of quid but the difference is night and day i will use this stylus on old scratchy records but it is not a quality sounding stylus
Bought this for my pioneer pl2 fitted perfectly, easy to set up, sounds grea
I’ve used much more costly cartridges over the years and needed a new stylus for my preferred one but having just moved house and spent lots of money on that I decided to downgrade to something cheaper so I got Audio Technica as a stop-the gap. Set it up and tried it out and it was very good. Lots of detail and well balanced apart from a slightly boomy bottom end. Over the weeks since I bought it the cartridge has run in and improved in all areas. The bottom end is now tight and the mid and top is detailed and very natural. I haven’t missed anything from my previous cartridge and will be staying with the A T. My system i(Technics deck, SME arm, Exposure pre, power supply and power amp, Yamaha ns 1000m speakers) is quite revealing so any issues would show and there are none.
Easy to install . Play a lot of jazz and the sound is great !
