Replacement Stylus for AT-VM95SH

The Audio-Technica AT-VMN95SH is a Shibata replacement stylus designed for the AT-VM95SH cartridge. It uses a nude square shank construction and fits a standard half-inch mount. This new component restores tracking performance for turntable owners who need a direct replacement.

Nude Square Shank Design

The nude square shank construction lowers the effective tip mass compared to bonded alternatives. This change improves groove contact and high-frequency retrieval during playback. The stylus dimensions are 2.7 by 0.26 mil, matching the original cartridge specification for consistent performance.

Half-Inch Mount Compatibility

The stylus fits a half-inch mount cartridge body, which is the single specification that determines whether this part will work with your tonearm. Buyers with a different mount type or cartridge model cannot use this replacement. The package weighs 0.024 kilograms.

Questions about this item

How often should the Shibata stylus on the AT-VMN95SH be replaced?

Replace the stylus when high-frequency detail fades or tracking becomes unstable; typical life spans several hundred playing hours depending on record condition and tracking force.

What limits continuous playback before the AT-VMN95SH overheats?

The stylus itself generates no heat; the practical limit is the tonearm and cartridge temperature, so pause if the cartridge body feels unusually warm.

Does the AT-VMN95SH add audible noise or draw extra power during all-day use?

The stylus is passive and adds no electrical noise or power draw; only the turntable motor and preamp contribute to system noise and consumption.
