    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.

    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)

AudioQuest - Silver Anti-Static Record Brush Removes Static, Dust, Debris from Vinyl Records - Black
4.5(19)

Keep vinyl LPs free from annoying static, microscopic dust, and harmful debris with AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush. Simple, attractive, and remarkably effective, AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush features 1,086,000 conductive carbon fibers and an uncoated metal finger grip to create a reliable electrical path between fibers and handle. Unlike most brushes that have a protective coating over their handles, AudioQuest’s Silver Anti-Static Record Brush employs an uncoated metal finger grip that has been carefully positioned for ease of use and efficacy, ensuring a proper electrical connection to the user’s hand. That electrical path from fibers to hand is key to the Silver Anti-Static Record Brush’s success: Upon gripping the handle and gently applying the brush’s bristles to the surface of an LP, the user essentially becomes the ground for static electricity. Like its sibling, AudioQuest’s Gold Anti-Static Record Brush, which boasts even more (1,248,000) conductive carbon fibers, the Silver Anti-Static Record Brush is a direct descendant of AudioQuest’s tried-and-TRUE Carbon Fiber Record Brush. Dating back to 1982, AudioQuest’s Carbon Fiber Record Brush is a TRUE hi-fi classic, trusted for decades by audiophiles, vinyl enthusiasts, collectors, record-shop owners, DJs, and anyone else who cares about LPs. In creating the improved design, AudioQuest established new tooling for every part of the Anti-Static Record Brush. The revamped Anti-Static Record Brush has ideal conductivity from its carbon fibers through its internal parts to the ergonomically positioned conductive contacts. AudioQuest also reinvestigated the performance potential of carbon fiber bristles, thoughtfully selecting a far greater quantity of smaller bristles to sweep away microscopic dust and debris — not just the less relevant visible dust — more effectively. Building and maintaining a record collection doesn’t have to be a daunting or tedious task. The AudioQuest Silver Anti-Static Record Brush makes it easy: Simply place a record on your turntable’s platter, start the turntable, and wait until the record is spinning at its proper speed (33, 45, or 78RPMs). Holding the Anti-Static Record Brush by its silver finger grips, place its fibers across the grooves — firmly enough that the bristles make constant contact with the record’s surface and gently enough that the bristles do not bend. Allow the record to turn for two or three rotations so that the Anti-Static Record Brush can collect the visible dust and any invisible microscopic dust. Gently and smoothly slide the brush away from the platter’s center spindle, toward your body, and off the record’s surface. Rotate the Anti-Static Record Brush within its handle to remove any dirt and debris from its carbon fiber bristles. Repeat the process as desired. Cleaning your records before and after each listening session helps keep them free from dust and debris while eliminating static that can contribute to annoying snaps, crackles, and pops. This safe and simple record-cleaning process also benefits your phono cartridge’s stylus, enhancing its performance and extending its lifespan by ensuring that it travels a smoother, cleaner path through the vinyl’s grooves. Make the AudioQuest Silver Anti-Static Record Brush an important part of your vinyl-care routine and join tens of thousands who have trusted AudioQuest with keeping their valuable collections clean, quiet, and static-free.

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).

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

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