Stylus for AT-VM95E Cartridge

The Audio-Technica AT-VMN95EBK is an elliptical replacement stylus designed for the AT-VM95E cartridge. It features a 0.3 x 0.7 mm tip profile. This part is intended for users who need to replace a worn or damaged stylus on that specific cartridge model. It restores the original tracking performance of the cartridge.

Tracking Limits of Elliptical Profile

The elliptical tip geometry contacts the record groove across two radii measuring 0.3 x 0.7 mm. This shape traces higher frequencies more accurately than a conical tip but cannot retrieve the very finest groove detail that a finer line-contact or Shibata profile can resolve. Inner-groove distortion may remain audible on complex passages. The stylus is a mechanical wear item and will degrade over time.

Verify Cartridge Model Before Ordering

Confirm that your installed cartridge is the AT-VM95E before purchasing this replacement. The AT-VMN95EBK is not compatible with other VM95 series cartridges such as the VM95C, VM95ML, or VM95SH which require different stylus assemblies. Check the model marking on the cartridge body to ensure a correct fit. No tools are required for the swap.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 0.3 x 0.7 mm elliptical stylus or another VM95 profile for my AT-VM95E cartridge?

The 0.3 x 0.7 mm elliptical stylus is the direct replacement for the AT-VM95E cartridge; other VM95 profiles such as conical, Microlinear or Shibata are designed for the AT-VM95C, ML or SH cartridges respectively.

How does the 0.3 x 0.7 mm elliptical tip affect tracking and record wear in daily use?

The elliptical contact patch rides deeper in the groove than a conical tip, retrieving more high-frequency detail while spreading the tracking force over a larger area to reduce record wear.

Will this stylus fit any standard half-inch mount or is it limited to the AT-VM95E body?

The AT-VMN95EBK clips only onto the AT-VM95E cartridge body; it is not a universal half-inch mount stylus and will not fit other brands or Audio-Technica cartridge models.
