Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN/H Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit

VM95 Series Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge • Nude Elliptical Stylus • AT-HS6BK Headshell • Aluminum Cantilever • 20–23,000 Hz Frequency Response • Factory-Assembled Combo

Factory-Assembled Nude Elliptical Cartridge and Headshell for Detailed Vinyl Playback

The Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN/H Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit combines the AT-VM95EN dual moving magnet cartridge with Audio-Technica's AT-HS6BK headshell in one convenient, factory-assembled package. Its nude elliptical diamond stylus provides lower moving mass and more precise groove contact than a bonded elliptical design, helping reveal fine musical detail, clear stereo imaging and well-defined high-frequency information. The cartridge delivers a 20 Hz to 23 kHz frequency response, 22 dB channel separation at 1 kHz and 3.5 mV output. 

Mounted and tested at Audio-Technica's factory in Fukui, Japan, the AT-VM95EN/H simplifies cartridge installation for compatible turntables by arriving already secured to the headshell. The VM95 platform also provides a flexible upgrade path, since the cartridge body accepts interchangeable VM95 Series styli, allowing listeners to change stylus profiles without replacing the complete cartridge.

Highlights & Benefits

  • Nude Elliptical Diamond Stylus — The 0.3 × 0.7 mil nude elliptical stylus places the diamond directly on the cantilever, reducing moving mass and supporting improved tracking and detail retrieval. 
  • Pre-Mounted AT-HS6BK Headshell — The AT-VM95EN cartridge arrives installed on Audio-Technica's black AT-HS6 headshell for a simpler setup process on compatible tonearms. 
  • Dual Moving Magnet VM Architecture — Separate magnets corresponding to the left and right groove channels help deliver accurate stereo reproduction and strong channel separation.
  • Interchangeable VM95 Stylus Platform — The cartridge body accepts compatible VM95 Series replacement styli, making future stylus replacement or performance upgrades straightforward.

Technology & Design

0.3 × 0.7 mil Nude Elliptical Stylus — The nude elliptical diamond profile offers more precise contact with the groove walls than a basic conical or bonded elliptical stylus, helping retrieve subtle musical information while maintaining dependable tracking.

Aluminum Pipe Cantilever — A lightweight aluminum cantilever efficiently transfers stylus movement to the cartridge generator, contributing to responsive transient reproduction and controlled tracking. 

VM Dual-Magnet Generator — Audio-Technica's moving-magnet architecture uses two magnets positioned to correspond with the two channels of a stereo record groove, supporting stable channel balance and separation.

Universal Headshell Configuration — The AT-HS6 headshell uses the common H-4 bayonet-style connection found on many removable-headshell tonearms, making the combo convenient for compatible turntables and for users who regularly swap cartridges.

FAQ — Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN/H

What is included with the AT-VM95EN/H combo kit?

The kit includes an AT-VM95EN dual moving magnet cartridge pre-mounted to an AT-HS6BK headshell, along with the specified installation accessories. Audio-Technica lists the total assembled cartridge-and-headshell weight at 15.5 grams. 

What tracking force should I use with the AT-VM95EN/H?

Audio-Technica specifies a tracking-force range of 1.8 to 2.2 grams, with 2.0 grams as the standard recommended setting for the AT-VM95EN. 

Can I upgrade the stylus later?

Yes. The AT-VM95EN uses the VM95 Series cartridge body, which accepts compatible VM95 replacement styli. This allows you to move to another stylus profile, including Microlinear or Shibata options, without replacing the cartridge body.

How long does the nude elliptical stylus typically last?

Audio-Technica lists approximately 300 hours of expected use for an elliptical VM95 stylus under appropriate operating conditions. Actual life can vary depending on record cleanliness, tracking setup and overall stylus care.
