Product Summary
The Audio-Technica AT-VM95E on AT-HS6 headshell is a convenient, ready-to-install cartridge package designed for turntables with a standard SME-type bayonet tonearm. It combines the widely respected AT-VM95E moving magnet cartridge with Audio-Technica’s lightweight AT-HS6 aluminium headshell, making installation quick and straightforward while ensuring reliable performance.
The VM95 series uses Audio-Technica’s dual moving magnet generator design, which positions two magnets to mirror the left and right channels of the record groove for excellent channel separation and stable tracking. The 0.3 × 0.7 mil elliptical stylus improves detail retrieval compared to basic conical designs, delivering clear highs, solid bass and balanced overall sound for everyday vinyl listening.
As part of the VM95 family, the stylus can be easily replaced or upgraded to other VM95 stylus profiles (including nude elliptical, microline or Shibata) without changing the cartridge body, making it a flexible platform for future upgrades.
