Product Summary
Audio-Technica's AT-VM95 Series cartridge and headshell combinations provide an easy way to fit or upgrade a turntable without having to mount the cartridge to a headshell from scratch. Each option combines an AT-VM95 cartridge with an Audio-Technica AT-HS6 aluminium headshell, with a choice of stylus profiles to suit different budgets, listening preferences and record formats.
The VM95 range uses Audio-Technica's dual moving magnet design and shares the same cartridge platform across the range. This makes replacement and future upgrades particularly simple, with interchangeable VM95 Series styli allowing you to change stylus profile without replacing the complete cartridge.
Choose from the affordable Conical and Elliptical models through to Nude Elliptical, MicroLine and Shibata versions for increasingly precise groove tracing. A dedicated 3 mil SP version is also available for playing 78 RPM records.
With the cartridge already fitted to the AT-HS6 headshell, these combinations are ideal for compatible turntables with removable universal headshells. Simply fit the headshell to the tonearm, then set the appropriate tracking force, alignment and anti-skate for your chosen cartridge.
