Audio Technica AT-VMN95SH Replacement Stylus

Meet the AT-VMN95SH

Replacement Stylus from Audio Technica

The 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.

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 Micro-linear stylus, and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus.

The six models of VM95 Series cartridges all use the same electromagnetic engine-body, therefore each of the six replacement styli are perfectly compatible.
