Borrowing the smooth character of its sibling Oyster, Black Pearl implements an improved housing that allows for wider frequency response. This makes way for more nuance and greater stereo imaging in a more cohesive soundstage. Enjoyable for hours on end, Black Pearl is famously high in value, pairs perfectly with any MM phonostage and is physically compatible with a wide array of tonearms.

The AT-VM95C/H combo kit includes the AT-VM95C dual moving magnet cartridge premounted on the AT-HS6BK headshell. VM dual magnet cartridge with 0.6 mil conical stylus. Aluminum cantilever. Specially wound coils increase output voltage. Durable low-resonance polymer housing. Threaded inserts in cartridge body enable cartridge to be mounted to headshell with just two screws – no nuts or washers required. Compatible with any AT-VMN95 replacement stylus. Universal ½"-mount headshell for 4-pin turntable cartridges.
