Audio Technica AT-VM95SP: Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge for 78rpm Mono Records

This VM95 series cartridge with a 3 mil tapered stylus can be used with half-inch mount turntables. While it is designed to play 78rpm mono records, it is, however, a stereo cartridge, allowing users to choose between left and right channels, which can be especially useful in archival applications to minimize noise. noise and distortion. The rugged, low-resonance housing features threaded inserts that allow the cartridge to be mounted to the headstock with just two screws, without the need for nuts. And since the entire VM95 series shares the same body, the stylus can be replaced with any of the six interchangeable AT-VMN95 replacement styli.

VM95 Series - Stylus Compatibility

Every diamond stylus in a capsule wears 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 buy 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.
