Questions & Answers

It looks like a mono stylus, doesn't it? It is designed to be used with the cartridge it is designed for, so can it be used in that way?

No matter what setting you use, the stylus is agnostic, neither stereo nor mono. A mono cartridge such as AT-G5 can be used with this stylus The VM95SP can only be used on 78s. The micro grooves on this one are the only ones that you should use.

A tracking force of 2 grams is ideal. The setting on mine is 2 grams, and it works fine. Using the skipping feature was not an issue.

Budget stylus that is the best there is
5/5

So far, I like this stylus, but I have only had it for a couple of days. I mainly bought it because it was cheap. I listen to records all day and any chance I can get, so I'm gonna blow through tru stylus. I probably could have purchased a more expensive cart, but it would be too much trouble to keep replacing that bad boy constantly. From the Atvm95e to this conical I have chosen to downgrade. To test whether there is a difference in sound quality between the two cartridges, I switched between them on a few tracks. In some cases, I couldn't tell a difference. If there is a difference for me, I suspect that it may also be due to the quality of the recording. In the few times I have noticed a difference for me, it has been marginal. As I switch back to the E, the sound has more depth and range. When I switch back to the A, it may feel as if the sound has hit a wall. To put my current setup into context, I am listening to a Technics 1210 mk2 connected to a pair of Klipsch R-111s It's a 15PM bookshelf speaker, and I believe it's a 12 inch subwoofer. I have my tracking force set to 2 and my anti-skate set to The atvm95e is the better purchase if you don't mind a marginal difference and you listen to music a lot. Also, if you are looking to save money at this point then the atvm95e is recommended. Getting a more expensive product is the right choice if sound quality is important to you and you want to avoid cons. In terms of the stylus, it's a decent purchase for the price, and it will probably be my go-to for a bit.

For a conical, this is excellent
4/5

The purpose of this purchase is to test it out I used a conical stylus on the VM95E cartridge to see how it compared to an elliptical one. There was slightly more end-of-side distortion than the elliptical, but not as much as I would have liked. High frequencies were rolled off significantly compared to the elliptical, something I don't care for. The elliptical machine is a good option for you if you have the funds. Clearer and brighter sound resulted from the result without sounding unnatural. Even if you're on a very low budget or simply prefer the sound of a conical stylus, it is still a great cartridge I would happily use. It is VM-compatible A 95 series record sounds fantastic, especially for the price. Spend your cartridge savings on more albums!.

I love the stylus, I love the cartridge! You can use this to find out, if you're wondering whether or not you want to start a vinyl collection, since records, a good turntable and what not can get expensive, then this needle and cartridge set up will help you make your decision
5/5

Using a great but old DUAL 1229 turntable, I am listening to this through an old stereo system. The only thing I did wasn't to spend a fortune on vinyl, but I wanted to do so on a budget that gave me the best bang for the buck and at the same time take good care of them. I replaced my original Shure cartridge with an Audio Technica cartridge as my older Shure cartridge was on its way out. A great sound is provided by this cartridge and you can use the same stylus for different purposes. It is important to set it up correctly. Take your time, research, and be prepared. There is nothing difficult about it, but it is very crucial. The decision will not let you down. your records clean!.

This is a genuine Audio Technica product
5/5

Last year, I purchased the VM95C phono cartridge for playing old records up to 45rpm that might be damaged by elliptical styli. Even though I have a better cartridge with a Shibata stylus, I often use it when playing LPs since it has such a good sound. Well, I somehow dropped the VM95C cartridge and bent the stylus too far. With the help of Amazon and Front Row Electronics, a genuine Audio Technica stylus was available for purchase. It would have been better if I chose A+ as my replacement Despite having a full range of tools available for the T, this cartridge's mission calls for a simple conical. My old 45s dating back to the 1950s sound great and I don't need to worry about getting damaged whilst playing them.

This stylus has a very nice conical shape
5/5

The conical version is actually what I downgraded from the elliptical version to play old thrift store, Dynasty Warriors, and other games I use an old Technics record changer to play groove and 45 records. My experience with the sound is very positive, and I am very pleased with it for that application! It surprised me how much I liked this stylus. It sounds fantastic on new vinyl as well. It is definitely worth the price!.

It is truly a different kind of difference
5/5

The mono stamps on a few mono records I possess don't sound as good as I expect them to. This was one reason why I bought the cartridge in the first place Stylus that can be replaced. Mono records sound great with this stylus. It's cheap and seems to work well. There is just something about it that I love.

The conical AT is at the top
5/5

The conical style was highly regarded in blogs and I decided to get this stylus specifically to use for my 7 inch records after reading blogs that discussed how suitable it is for 45s. I think it's a good deal, and it's cheap too.

I bought a conical stylus to hold me over until payday
3/5

Worst, worst stylus I have ever bought in my entire life. The reason they get bad reviews is clear to me now. It's particularly valuable for records that are over 50 years old. The elliptical stylus is the best tool to use. Save your money and don't waste it.
