This new VM95 range from the Japanese manufacturer replaces all the entry-level cartridges from Audio Technica. The Audio Technica AT-VM95C cartridge replaces AT91, AT91R and CN5625AL models.
AUDIO TECHNICA AT-VM95C: GENERATOR
The 6 proposed Hi-Fi cartridges models have the same generator.
It is composed of a copper coil unlike the VM 500 and 700 ranges having a dual coil generator.
To facilitate the mounting, the body is equipped with a brass threaded inserts that allows work without nut and offers an excellent tightening torque.
AUDIO TECHNICA AT-VM95C: STYLUS
The difference between the 6 cartridges of the VM95 range is their stylus, which is identified by its color code. Of course, the reproduction quality and the price are justified following the quality and profile of the proposed stylus.
Here colored in blue, it is a conical stylus. It is fitted for entry-level turntables not equipped with a high-end tonearm, but also for quite worn vinyl record collection.
AUDIO TECHNICA AT-VM95C: SPARE STYLUS
Of course, this Audio Technica AT-VM95C cartridge can be upgraded by changing the AT-VMN95C original stylus to the Audio Technica AT-VMN95E, AT-VMN95EN, AT-VMN95ML or AT-VMN95SH stylus.
You can also add a 78 rpm stylus, the AT-VMN95SP model. For a DJ use, you can add two stylus: ATN-XP5 and ATN-XP7.
