🎵 Audio-Technica AT-VMN95E Green Elliptical Turntable Stylus Replacement Review

I liked the sound right from the start, it was built into my turntable. I guess I'm the type of person that likes the standard stuff because it's made into cars and everything else. Sounds great, but not for long.

This needle and cart is my new standard. I have a less expensive conical (blue) version as well as a discontinued version of it. In terms of detail, channel separation, tracking management and overall value, this one wins out of the three I've played with. This may surprise you. If all you're looking for is fresh, great sound and playing old records, conical platters are probably your best bet.

This is the third replacement I've had, same problem every time, needle just falls out of head, been a DJ for over 20 years and a record collector for almost 40 years. I have used many different needles and have never had this problem. They were only used at home and lasted about 3 weeks each. Used with care and no problems. very disappointing. the sound quality is decent.

Will be upgraded to AT VMN95ML pen and possibly Shibata pen (red and brown). Reviews of the ML pen indicate that it is the most durable compared to the Shibata which is the most

I have a Fluance RT-81 and contacted the company to see what they could offer as an upgrade to the AT-95E that came with this player. They said the Ortofon OM-5E is an upgrade. I ordered and set everything up (align needle, set downforce etc.) and started playing the album. In short, my ears preferred the AT-95E. It sounded richer and clearer to me, so I keep the OM-5E in my desk drawer for emergencies.
