Audio Technica VM-95 SH MM

£179.00

Shibata stylus version of this excellent range. This is detailed, good at tracking and good on surface noise. The stylus profile rides a little lower in the groove and this tends to reduce surface noise. This is an excellent all-rounder and punches above its weight. Works well with Rega and LINN.

Each stylus can be up or downgraded as the need arises.

Description

Product Description
Audio Technica AT-VM95SH, features a Nude Shibata stylus, one of the most acclaimed stylus format by high end audiophiles. The Shibata stylus produces mid and bass sounds strong and rich in addition to offer a frequency response up to 25000Hz.

Styli compatibility
Every cartridge diamond stylus becomes worn after a period of play. 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. VM95 Series dual moving magnet cartridges can be used almost forever by replacing the interchangeable stylus.

It is no longer necessary to purchase a complete cartridge when your diamond is worn out, you can simply buy the matching replacement stylus, but also enjoy the experience of upgrading your cartridge with a different stylus. The six models of VM95 Series cartridges all use the same electromagnetic engine-body, so each of the six replacement styli are perfectly compatible.
