Mid-range VM95 series phono cartridge • 0.3 x 0.7 mil nude elliptical diamond stylus • Dual Moving Magnet (VM) structure • Aluminum pipe cantilever • Threaded insert body for easy headshell mounting • Compatible with all VM95 series replacement styli
The Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge delivers upgraded acoustic clarity, rapid transient response, and reduced tracking distortion by introducing a whole-diamond nude elliptical stylus to the versatile VM95 platform. Unlike bonded diamonds that use a diamond tip glued to a metal shank, the nude diamond construction reduces moving mass significantly, allowing the stylus to track complex high-frequency passages with agile precision and uncompromised detail. Designed with integrated threaded brass inserts for hassle-free two-screw headshell mounting, the Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge features Audio-Technica's signature dual V-mounted magnet geometry and an aluminum cantilever, making the Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge an exceptional high-fidelity upgrade for any vinyl enthusiast seeking genuine audiophile refinement, and ensuring the Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge stands as a class leader in performance-to-value.
Key Features & Innovations
0.3 x 0.7 mil nude elliptical diamond stylus — the Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge uses a solid, single-piece diamond stylus without a bonding shank, significantly lowering tip mass for faster transient tracking and enhanced fidelity.
Threaded body inserts for simple mounting — features two M2.6 threaded brass inserts built into the low-resonance cartridge body, allowing secure top-down installation to headshells with two screws and no loose nuts.
Dual Moving Magnet (VM) generator design — duplicate V-shaped magnets align directly opposite internal coils to mimic the original cutting lathe head geometry, ensuring superior channel separation and ruler-flat stereo imaging.
Durable aluminum pipe cantilever — engineered with an ultra-rigid aluminum cantilever that transfers subtle groove modulations cleanly to the magnet assembly with minimal resonance.
Full VM95 series stylus interchangeability — built on Audio-Technica’s modular VM95 body, enabling seamless plug-and-play stylus swaps across the entire range (from Conical to MicroLine and Shibata) without replacing the cartridge.
What is the difference between the AT-VM95E and the AT-VM95EN?
The primary difference is the stylus construction. While both feature an elliptical cut, the AT-VM95E uses a bonded diamond mounted to a titanium or steel shank, whereas the Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge uses a "nude" diamond cut entirely from a single crystal. This reduces effective tip mass, providing smoother high frequencies, improved transient response, and less distortion.
What is the recommended vertical tracking force (VTF) for the AT-VM95EN?
The recommended vertical tracking force for the AT-VM95EN is 2.0 grams (acceptable tracking range is between 1.8 and 2.2 grams).
Can I upgrade the stylus on the AT-VM95EN to a MicroLine or Shibata later?
Yes. The VM95 series cartridge body is universal across the entire range. You can easily remove the AT-VMN95EN stylus and click on an AT-VMN95ML (MicroLine) or AT-VMN95SH (Shibata) replacement stylus without removing the cartridge body from your tonearm.
Will this cartridge fit on standard 1/2-inch mount headshells?
Yes. The AT-VM95EN uses standard 1/2" center spacing with threaded M2.6 inserts, making it compatible with almost any standard universal turntable headshell.
