VM95 Series - Stylus Compatibility

Every diamond stylus in a capsule wears out after a period of work.

Around 500 hours for a conical stylus, 300 hours for an elliptical stylus, 1000 hours for a Microlinear stylus, and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus.

Our VM95 series dual moving magnet cartridges can be used virtually forever if the interchangeable stylus is replaced. It is no longer necessary to purchase a full capsule when the diamond tip has been worn down; you just have to purchase the right replacement stylus, but you can also enjoy the experience of upgrading your cartridge with a different stylus.

All six cartridge models that make up the VM95 series use the same electromagnetic motor body, therefore each of the six replacement styli is perfectly compatible.
