Audio Technica AT-VM95C Stereotonabnehmer konisch

Stereo cartridge The AT-VM95C is Audio-Technica's new entry-level model with a conical stylus and replaces the legendary AT90 series cartridges (e.g. AT91, AT91R and CN5625AL).

The AT-VM95C is an inexpensive tapered stylus cartridge that offers the option to swap out the stylus for one of the four other, higher quality LP styli (Elliptical, Elliptical/Naked, Microlinear and Shibata) in this series.

VM95 Series - Cartridge Compatibility Overview: Even the best diamond stylus wears out after some time - conical styli after about 500 hours, elliptical styli after 300 hours, microlinear stylus after 1000 hours and Shibata stylus after around 800 hours.

For this reason, we designed our VM95 series dual moving magnet pickups so that the styli can be interchanged and the pickup itself can be used almost unlimitedly. If the stylus is worn out, you don't need to buy a new pickup, just the right replacement stylus - or you can upgrade your system with another, higher quality stylus.

All six VM95 pickup models feature the same electromagnetic drive unit (housing). The six styli in this series are therefore 100% compatible.

Tapered, mounted stylus: The advantage of tapered styli (even on “slim,” cheaper systems) is that the rounded surface tracks the groove of vinyl records very precisely.

Mounting without nuts: VM95 series cartridges have two M2.6 threaded inserts that allow installation on the tonearm or (replaceable) headshell without nuts. Each pickup includes four M2.6 screws (2 x 8 mm and 2 x 11 mm) and two plastic washers.
