Review on 🎡 Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Dual Moving Magnet Turntable Cartridge Orange: Unleash Your Audio Experience! by Brandon Wynen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great sound, but there were some difficulties. . .

I bought a cartridge to replace my Ortofon 2M Red that came with my Project Debut turntable. The Orthophone sounded good but I wanted something richer but in the same price range. Looking around, I read reviews of the Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN. It sounded attractive, so I went for it. The only problem I had was that the cartridge is very light. I called the factory about the problem and they suggested putting weight on the arm. I found a very small puck and weighed it on the scale and it added just enough to make the overall weight what it should be. Once tuned, the pickup sounds great and I'm very happy with it. Another great feature of these Audio-Technica cartridges is the ability to swap out the stylus. So I buy a conical stylus to listen to my monophonic records.

Pros
  • VM95 Series Dual Magnetic Cartridge with Elliptical Nude 0.3 x 0.7 mil stylus
Cons
  • New competition has arrived
