Audio-Technica - Audio Technica AT-VMN95ML Replacement Stylus - Red

I just started my vinyl hobby. I found a nice 1980's Sony turntable on ebay. This improved sound 100%. Just use on near mint albums and your gold.

I bought this to replace the AT-VMN95E the Green one that came with my LP120. I wanted to upgrade and see if there’s a difference and boy is there a difference. It says it takes about 50 hours of play to brake it in but I noticed a difference has soon has I changed it. Everything sounds so much crisper, bass is so much fuller. I should’ve upgraded 2 years ago when I bought the player. Trust me you won’t regret it if you buy it.

Replaced a worn ATN95EN with the ML equivalent for the AT-VM cartridge. Set-up was easy - stylus replacement is a snap, and verified alignment and tracking force. Took about 20 hours to really break in, and the soundstage of this compared to the EN was noticeably different and fuller - more mid-range, bass and highs that I thought were beyond my 59 year old ears. I can now understand the hype from other reviewers - well worth the upgrade.

I have been eyeing this stylus for awhile now and I'm glad I finally found a good enough deal (open box) to go ahead and purchase it. I already have an AT-VM95 cartridge for the EN stylus (which also sounds good), so changing out that stylus for the ML was a literal snap. In no time I'm listening to sounds coming out of my 45-year old and older records that I've never heard before. More pronounced vocals and bass, too. And maybe this is from cleaning the record (which I do anyway), but I noticed a decreased presence of surface noise (pops and clicks). A very nice upgrade to an already good cartridge.

Went with the AT-VMN95ML replacement stylus to upgrade my AT-VM95 cartridge which had a AT-VM95E elliptical cartridge. I had only had the cartridge with 95E cartridge for a few weeks so it was essentially new but after reading reviews on the 95ML microlinear stylus I decided to upgrade the stylus and am glad I did! The sound difference is amazing, the clarity and depth of the sound has blown me and my friends away. AT has done a nice job of designing the VM-95 cartridge so that it can accommodate 5 different stylus. So if like me and you have one of the lower end (but still very good) stylus, you can upgrade it to a cartridge that just a few years ago would have cost you 3 times what this package costs. FYI, I have the AT-VMN95 cartridge and stylus mounted in a vintage Technics SL-Q2 direct drive quartz controlled turntable that I have had since the 70's and it is a great combination!
