Review on 🎢 Enhanced Audio-Technica AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet Turntable Cartridge in Green by Ae Ra ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

The connection and placement of the pickup contacts is standard audio technical, without color markings. There are quite detailed instructions for installing this head on a headshell (tonearm head). I recommend it to anyone who needs a good budget cartridge.

Pros
  • One of the best budget cartridges ever. Elliptical needle (wears the plate less and removes more signal compared to conical sharpening), high-quality carcass, there are upgrade options with other inserts. The sound for such money is excellent, the readability of the new records is excellent. Convenient attachment to the headshell, as there are no nuts, and the screws are screwed into the pickup body itself.
Cons
  • The service life of a complete, elliptical needle is 300 hours. This, against the background of other inserts, is very small. Conical - 500 hours, ML - 1000 hours, Shibata - 800 hours. Given that the elliptical insert is more expensive than the conical one, this is a bit strange.
