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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best value for money among pickups.

I installed this cartridge on an old Rega Planar 3 with an RB250 arm. It sounds great. It doesn't interfere with the music I like. I don't want to hear how some devices color everything into a certain sound and with this cartridge you don't have to worry about that. No part of the frequency range is emphasized, the sound tracks very well (the AT always does) and the stereo imaging is excellent. It's virtually indistinguishable from my trusty AT440MLA with the AT100E stylus, which I've used for many years. Audio-Technica did exactly the right thing with the VM95 line of cartridges. They are affordable, retrofittable and incredibly easy to install thanks to the threaded inserts. They work with almost any tonearm and sound great. I've heard and owned more expensive cartridges and I don't miss them one bit.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Vulgarity
