AT-VM95ML/H Turntable Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit Red

The Audio-Technica AT-VM95ML/H Turntable Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit has completely elevated my vinyl listening experience! From the moment I installed it, I was blown away by the clarity and detail it brought out in my records. The microlinear stylus is the star of the show here. It tracks beautifully, picking up every nuance in the music while minimizing distortion and inner groove wear. My older records, which I thought had worn out, now sound almost brand new! The improved channel separation and tight bass response have made listening a joy. The pre-mounted design on the headshell is a huge time-saver. Installation was straightforward, and alignment was perfect right out of the box. It’s compatible with a variety of tonearms, making it a versatile option for any turntable setup. The build quality is fantastic, and the red finish adds a sleek, modern touch to my turntable. For the performance and quality, this kit is an excellent value and a worthy upgrade for any vinyl enthusiast. If you’re serious about getting the best out of your records, the AT-VM95ML/H combo kit is a must-have. Highly recommend it!

Excellent upgrade. I purchased the Audio Technica 120LPx turntable about 4 months ago. The stock stylus it came with was fine, however I knew that it's hours were limited and that upgrades were possible. First I tried the 740ML which was a disaster....my turntable is on bluetooth and one speaker stopped picking up sound. That went back, and a bit later I bought this instead. Setup was instant- no balancing or recalibration needed. Sound is really good - I'd say a solid 30 to 35 percent better than the stock stylus - eg I just hear more detail. Recommended.

Sweet sound reproduction from your vinyl collection. Quality product.

I have the AT-120XUSB turntable and, like many, I purchased the VM95ML cartridge as an upgrade to the original VM95E which sounded great, however, I felt that if there was a possibility of an improved sound over the E, then I for sure wanted that and so I went for it. It all came factory calibrated so there were no set up issues. After a month of playing, I feel like the VM95ML has broken in pretty good and I would say that for me, the improvement in sound over the VM95E is probably about 10%. But it’s a huge 10%...Of course I was after more sound separation and I got that, however, I never realized how much 3-D sound I was missing, my Polk monitor 40 speakers are pretty deep front to back and with this ML cartridge, the sound is more 3 dimensional and the soundstage is indeed wider. Another considerable payoff in quality is that the previous VM95E had some issues with inner grove distortion and with the VM95ML, this problem is now non-existent. I chose the headshell/cartridge combo for the convenience of easy switch, the VM95ML is an investment that you don’t want to risk by having to be switching out the stylus alone. I will say, if you have, and are currently using the VM95E, you’re fine, the VM95E Elliptical ROCKS, especially if you’re decompressing on your metal classics and for the times when there may be a lot of company around. I will keep my VM95E and use for casual listening, however, if you want to impress people with the results of the hard work (and money) that you’ve put into your system and or you’re wanting that moment of solitude to where you’re breaking out the Floyd or like Alan Parson’s Project etc., then you want the experience to go to 11 and you have to have the VM95ML in your private stock.

I must admit I didn't expect to hear the improvement in the sound quality as much as I did. I like and really liked my previous AT-VM95 Stylus. I will admit purchasing with the Head rather than the stylus alone was a smart move. I know a about $20+ more but for the ease of use and the ability to easliy change cartridges if you like makes it an easy decision. Also, not really a thing but a thing... I like the red contrast of the cartridge from the previous green. YES, I know it is about the sound quality... And it is worth it!

Good sound quality!

For those who are concerning the compatibility of this cartridge with their Flurance RT-81: I m pretty confident to tell you they work flawlessly together and it does bring the sound quality of this turntable at least 2 levels up. You can hear a lot more details and both highs and lows are enhanced with a wider soundstage. Of course you need to rebalance the arm weight and anti-skate but I found the alignment was perfectly matched with the stock configuration. Anyways it’s a worthwhile investment if you already have the RT-81 and plan to upgrade. I have a feeling it may even sound better than the RT-84/85 with the Ortofon Blue after the upgrade.

I’m running vintage Fisher 800c amplifier with a fisher Studio Standard MT-6225 with the upgraded tone arm. Audio-Techniica AT-VM95ML/H For 200 bucks sound is impressive. Fit like it was made for the table. Didn’t have to make any adjustments and even weight was dead on. Really clear sound and separation is very good. I’m very happy with the sound quality
