🎵 Audio-Technica AT-VM95EN Dual Moving Magnet Turntable Cartridge Orange: Unleash Your Audio Experience! Review

I installed this cartridge in my Dual 1219 to replace my old cartridge which was an old Shure Realistic cartridge pickup was. It was a big improvement! Installation was very easy. When I immediately played a recording from this cassette, the overall sound was much more punchy with much better bass and treble. This cartridge also handled surface noise much better than my previous cartridge. I also love the options this line offers that allow you to upgrade your pen without having to replace the…

To be honest, the components I have are 45 years old, although the receiver, player and speakers still work well. I replaced my old cart/stylus because I no longer thought I was getting the level of playback I used to have. I had high hopes for a much better sound after installing the AT, but actually I didn't notice any changes. It's entirely possible that I'm just not taking advantage of AT's offering due to another, as yet undiagnosed, issue somewhere in the audio chain. However, based on…

Audio Technica is doing something with this cartridge. I've used others like the AT-95e and AT-120 but this one definitely outweighs its weight. Initially, the high frequencies seem exaggerated, but after a few hours of running everything calms down. This car is very well controlled and I no longer have the internal groove distortion problems that I had in the past. Another thing I like about this cart is that it's not too tall, which makes it easier to work with older turntables without…

I've used a variety of styluses over the years including Shure models, Audio Technica (we're going back), Ortofon, etc. The old school Shure M44-7 was my favorite because of tone, clarity and intensity. As you probably know, this option is not considered. As a solution, I chose Ortofon Red. Great pen. Very accurate, excellent tracking, looks amazing but almost too good to be true. I found it could compete with a CD and sounded almost like a CD. At least on my system. There's nothing wrong. This

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…

This AT cartridge is not a bad cartridge but it doesn't compare to the Nagaoka MP-110 which I also just bought and compared to using identical sleeves MP -110 VTF at 1.8g and Audio Technica at 2.0g, both within recommended ranges. BTW, the downforce range for the AT is perhaps the tightest I've seen - 1.8-2.2g. As in the case of the Nagaoka cartridge, this AT cartridge is also clearly intended for larger tonearms. Do not attempt to mount this cartridge in a light cartridge fired weapon. You…

This cartridge and stylus is the best in its class. I hesitated to buy Ortofon Blue because of the overpriced despite its popularity. Specification for specification, this item is comparable to Ortofon Blue (Naked Elliptical/Moving Magnet). This includes a DOUBLE moving magnet! The smaller compact size is also what drew me to this phone, not the Ortofon. Output volume has been significantly improved over previous Audio Technica series cartridges. Testing this item with a Shure Era III sonic…
