Product Summary
The Audio-Technica AT-VM95E is a popular moving magnet cartridge designed to deliver clear, balanced vinyl playback at an affordable price. As part of Audio-Technica’s versatile VM95 series, it uses a dual moving magnet generator that mirrors the left and right channels of the record groove for accurate stereo reproduction and stable channel separation.
The cartridge features a 0.3 × 0.7 mil bonded elliptical stylus mounted on an aluminium cantilever. This stylus profile traces record grooves more precisely than basic conical designs, improving detail retrieval while reducing distortion and inner-groove tracking issues.
The VM95 platform also allows easy stylus replacement and upgrades across the VM95 stylus range, meaning you can upgrade to more advanced stylus profiles without replacing the entire cartridge body. This makes the AT-VM95E a flexible and cost-effective choice for many turntable systems.
