    Quality upgrade moving magnet cartidge

    The Audio-Technica VM95EN is an excellent upgrade to the stock cartridge that came with my turntable. It provides better sound quality and was simple to replace.

    Great upgrade for an AT-LP120

    I bought this since the stylus I wanted wasn't in stock and I am very glad I did. The cartridge is Made in Japan, so I replaced the stock Chinese cartridge that came with my AT-LP120XUSB turn table. The sound is a big upgrade over the stock AT-VM95E stylus and worth the money.

    Big upgrade

    Upgrade this from the original stylus on my AT Lp 120 and the upgrade in sound and clarity is huge. Very little distortion and excellent channel separation.

    Good Cartridge

    Using on a Pioneer DJ PLX-1000 Turntable. Easy to install and setup. Sounds great, no issues. Plays wonderfully.

    Great upgrade.

    Fantastic sound quality and easy install. Used in combination with the Crowley stylus cleaner I get zero pops and crackles. (Unless your vinyl is scratched. Not much to be done about that)

Questions & Answers
  • I have a vintage Technics turntable SL Q2, would it be compatible to this cartridge?

    Yes, it would.

    Answered by AudioTechnica
    AudioTechnica response
  • How does this system dampen external vibrations from causing the arm to bounce?

    By using a tuned stylus suspension system and a low-resonance polymer cartridge body. It is also important to match the compliance of any cartridge to the effective mass of the tonearm it is to be used with in order to keep the resonance frequency of the tonearm/cartridge combination within the preferred resonance frequency range (7 to 12 Hz).

  • Will this work with an AT LP5? Is it an improvement over the original cartridge?

    Yes, it will work, and it is an improvement.

    AudioTechnica response
  • Will this be complaint with the LP140XP or Technics 1200gr with the headshell? Or do I need to use a different headshell?

    The AT-VM95ML Cartridge is compliant with either model turntable when using the stock headshells provided with the turntables.
