Review on ๐ŸŽถ Enhance Your Vinyl Experience with the Audio-Technica AT95E Phonograph Cartridge by Chris Rob

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent cartridge and good price but bad packaging

cartridge at a good price! Just set it up on my old Marantz 6025 TT with the new AT head. Set the downforce to 2.0 as recommended and the sound is great - good channel separation, soft and round mids, highs are bright but not "harsh". The only criticism is the packaging. The pictures on Revain show the back of the original retail box, so I (naively) assumed this car would arrive in that retail box. nope It came in a plain crappy plastic box, with no instructions - just two hex head screws and no washers (I think the original box had two sets of screws, one long and one shorter - this one only comes with the long set). This car is made through Cyber Outlet so I suspect they have a surplus of these cars as they are now out of production (replaced by the later AT VM95E I think.?). Anyway it's easy enough to find specs and downforce and other settings etc. online but still annoying lack of retail packaging.

Pros
  • cartridge for turntable
Cons
  • exchange possible
