Q: what’s the difference between the colored needles and the white ones?
A: Stylus construction. Within this series, the white one is a 3.0 mil bonded conical tip designed specifically for the playback of 78 RPM Shellac (SP) records. The remaining colored styli are for use with today's vinyl records. The blue is an economical 0.6 mil bonded conical tip, the green uses an 0.3 x 0.7 mil bonded elliptical tip for improved high frequency performance, the orange uses the same tip as the green but the stylus is nude, not bonded, giving the orange extended high frequency response and improved transient response.The red uses a nude micro linear shape tip on a square shank.The micro linear shape has a more narrow side radius and a longer vertical contact ridge. The micro linear tip is our longest wearing tip and it traces the groove with a high degree of accuracy and low noise. The brown uses a Shibata tip on a square shank. The Shibata profile is similar to the micro linear tip but it has a distinct, more focused sound with some mid-bass warmth. If your system sounds too bright, the Shibata tip can help tone it down. Nude styli will have improved transient response and detail compared to a bonded styli of the same shape and size. A square shank is more expensive to manufacture than the traditional round shank, but it allows for more precise indexing of the cantilever thanks to a corresponding laser cut square hole in the cantilever.
Q: This produc is compatible with Audiotechnica AT-LP-120-USB?
A: This is only a replacement stylus. It fits the AT-VM95E cartridge body. Your table has removable headshell and accepts any 1/2" mount cartridges. So you'll have to buy the VM95e cartridge ($50) then when needed you can buy this replacement stylus when the original wears out. Now if your table is the at-lp120Xusb it has this cartridge. If it's the older model at-lp120usb (no X) it has the older AT95e (no VM in name) cartridge. Which you can still get replacement for. The replacement name is "atn95e" if it has that cartridge You'll know because the AT95e green stylus is square. Vm95e has a rounded "nose" like this listings picture. Hope this helps!!
Q: Can I replace an AT11E (See photo) with this stylus?
A: No you cannot, the AT-VMN95E Replacement Stylus is not compatible with your cartridge. The AT11E Cartridge, and its ATS11E stylus, have been discontinued for quite some time. We have no stock remaining of any replacement styli from that family, and nothing that is currently available that is compatible with that cartridge body. Time for a new cartridge, like the AT-VM95E Cartridge which includes the AT-VMN95E Stylus.
Q: Will this fit a Technics SL-1700 MK2. Thanks for the help
A: No, it will not, not JUST the replacement stylus anyway. You need the entire cartridge complete with stylus, the AT-VM95E Cartridge. https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/cartridges/af5bd3ae747e0165/index.html
Q: Will this fit a Teac TN 300 turntable?
A: According to your turntables documentation, our AT95E Cartridge was supplied with it. Please confirm this. If it is the AT95E Cartridge, the only replacement styli available for your cartridge is the ATN95E or the ATN95EX Replacement Stylus. PLEASE NOTE: the AT-VMN95E Stylus is not compatible with the AT95E Cartridge, only with AT-VM95E Cartridge which is an updated version of the cartridge.
Q: Will this work with the BSR Quanta 400 turntable. Thank you for your time. Regards.
A: Only if your BSR turntable has an AT-VM95 Series cartridge on it. Instead of purchasing the stylus (stylus ONLY), you may want to replace the cartridge complete with stylus. This will be the AT-VM95E Cartridge.
Q: Is this adaptable for AT-LPW30TK?
A: Yes, the AT-VM95E Replacement Stylus can be used as an alternative to the (AT-VMN95C) stylus that is provided.
Q: Will this work for my Crosley C6?
A: No, it will not. The replacement stylus for your turntable is the ATN3600L. You could update the provided AT3600L Cartridge by replacing it with the AT-VM95E Cartridge complete with stylus however. AT-VM95E Cartridge https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/cartridges/af5bd3ae747e0165/index.html
