Product Manuals

Q: Will this work with a Technics SL-23A?

A: It will but note that the stylus overhang for the AT-VM95C/H comes set at 15.5mm and the overhang specified in Technics SL23 documentation is 14mm so you may want to back the cartridge up 1.5mm.

Q: Will this cartridge/headshell kit fit on my Music Hall MMF-1.5 turntable, an is the cartridge premounted on headshell?

A: Yes, it will fit and the cartridge comes pre-mounted and pre-wired to to the headshell. Stylus overhang is set at 15.5mm.

Q: Will this fit on my AT-LP3 turntable as a "plug and play" to replace the AT91R cartridge and headshell that came with the turntable (and will is sound different)?. Thanks.

A: No, it will not. You must use the ANGLED headshell that was provided with your AT-LP3 Turntable. Get the AT-VM95E Cartridge (cartridge only) instead.

Q: Will this fit a Denon DP DJ 100? Thank you

A: It will fit, the only thing you will need to check on is the stylus overhang distance. Our Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kits come with the overhang set at 15.5mm. We have not been able to determine what the stylus overhang distance for the Denon turntable is, we advise being within .5mm of the turntable manufactures specified stylus overhang distance.

Q: Will this fit my Sony PS-LX3 turntable?

A: It will not. You can use the cartridge itself, the AT-VM95E, but not the headshell. Your turntable has a straight tonearm and an angled headshell, you must use the Sony angled headshell.

    Wonderful

    This replaced a dj stylus I used for almost ten years. Since I don’t dj anymore I wanted a new needle for listening to records. This cartridge/stylus combo is brilliant. The sound is warm and crisp. The ability to change out the needles makes this a no-brainer. At first I had a few skips but after adjusting the alignment now it sets right in the groove and plays wonderfully. I highly recommend this product or any of the combos in this line - they are all great.

    Nice upgrade from the default AT-VM95E/H

    I have the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB-BK turntable and it came with the Audio Technica AT-VM95E/H cartridge. I bought the table in the fall of 2021, and that needle lasted until last month (March 2024) when it just bent to far, that it started making squelching noises. I feared it scratched my new Miles Davis and BROCKHAMPTON LPs. So, I at first bought the Audio Technica AT-VM95SH (no headshell), but while that is a more expensive stlyus, it's lifespan was far shorter than the Audio Technica AT-VM95ML/H. Also, I was a bit squeemish about installing the stylus into the original headshell. So I exchanged it for the Audio Technica AT-VM95ML/H with the headshell installed. So far, I have had no issues, and it was aligned perfectly. The sound is great and I do not yet regret the purchase.

    Excellent value, great sound.

    Best performaning stylus for the price, hands down. Outperforms every other stylus in the price range (and some pricier Ortofon options as well). Checked alignment after installing on my Technics SL-D1 and was pleasantly surprised to find it already dialed in.

    I Love this Kit

    I put this on my Fisher MT-6224 turntable using a Fisher RS-2002a receiver to Jamo Magic 6 bookshelf speakers. This kit sounds so good. It sounded great out of the box and putting some hours on it just makes it sound better. There seems to be less to no pops and clicks during playback using this stylus on records that I couldn't get rid of before. (Compared to the original stylus, clone of original, and Ortofon OM 10.) I think I might get one of these for my Fluance RT82 because is sounds that good. I am just blown away by the difference and how good it sounds.
