AT91R Vs VM95E Stylus/Cartridge, Fitting & Sound Comparison UTILITARIAN TV 5.05K subscribers Subscribe 18K views 1 year ago I decided to upgrade my cartridge on my Audio Technica LP3 turntable.

If were to consider the Audio Technica AT95E on even ground with good records, youll definitely find that the tracking available is better than most. This suggests that Audio-Technica are not supplying bodies that test best after manufacture with their higher end styli as has been suggested.

Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO Rather it has a bit of oomf to use a technical term that makes it, if anything, great fun above all else. Hi Ashley, VTA was set such that the arm lay parallel to the record with the stylus in the groove. The dustcover is hinged and . Bowers & Wilkins705 S2 Ive just had a long flirtation with carefully manufactured Vinyl Engine arc templates using LP5s own tonearm measurements (and a VM95SH) which proved to my ears, and a YouTube video bloggers ears, that A T were absolutely right. First I should say that an arc isnt necessarily best, its just another way of achieving an alignment. What phono stage are you using, is it particularly sensitive to variations in input level? Little Red Corvette was recorded in Prince's basement (he played all the instruments himself and overdubbed multiple tracks) and he has some kind of electronic fuzz/flange on his voice that makes it sound especially distorted. If you arent really picky, go for this. Few audio components have attained the same high level of praise and admiration as the AT95, a phono cartridge that has remained in production for almost 4 decades and sold millions of units worldwide. unlike macnoob, I would suggest getting the arm/cart to play as horizontally as possible, as is accepted practice by most on here. I personally have always had a preference for a Microline over a Shibata. In answer to your question, the shape of these arms accounts for the necessary offset angle of the cartridge for their given geometry, hence the fact that the headshell itself is perfectly straight. The Microline produces a sound that is rich in detail and has rhythmic drive in spades.

It's a great sounding record, so I kind of figured it must be something in my setup. Stereo imaging is greatly improved as is the texture of instruments and their placement within the stereo field. Id say that if you are considering going for a budget buy, the Audio Technica AT95E is probably one of the best you can get. The top end is crystal clear with no audible tracking distortion to speak of and a complete lack of sibilance even when pushed to the limits with a badly mastered LP pressed with limited dynamic range. Pull. Thanks for this review. I was almost right. Both profiles will find favour with different listeners, and the fact that AT can offer a choice of two exotic styli on their most budget-conscious line of cartridges is both commendable and really quite remarkable. And even though the tracking force range is 1.5 to 2.5, anything below 2 grams is not recommended. Double check the tracking force with a digital balance and play. With some warped records, it performed well when used at the manufacturers recommended tracking force weight. It should be noted that a special stylus with a finer elliptical profile is available for the AT95E, with part number ATN95EX. Significant difference on Side B. Tracking is generally very good, but the handling of sibilant passages on 'hot' pressings is less than ideal, which is not unusual for a bonded elliptical stylus. Highs had more of a presence than before. The same is true here, though the VM95E is much more refined and tames the top end, while remaining agile and expressive. It will be very close and will look level so there is no need at this point to worry about arm height. To be able to quickly swap between cartridges for back-to-back comparisons, I had all the cartridges mounted on separate headshells. I can certainly appreciate why this cartridge has been a survivor and earned such an enviable reputation. It felt rough in some places. It worried me. Its a classic go-to budget cartridge with outstanding performance that belies its modest price and has found its way onto some costly decks during its 39-year tenure. It is my theory that the small variances in compliance and tip mass are responsible for this, and in reality such a minor difference isnt going to be of any consequence as the difference is minor, and the output voltage is well within the margin for most if not all moving magnet preamplifiers.

I think I finally found the optimal AT95E tracking force TL;DR: 2.2-2.25 grams seems to be the sweet spot I've been using an AT95E for a few years with my Technics SL-D2. I liked the color mix as well. I did put a lot of efforts into adjusting tracking force and VTA so that the carts operated according to their specifications. The AT95E is super laid back and pleasant to listen to, but it lacks the life and emotion it would need to become a complete cartridge. The midrange hadnt given me what I was looking for and I was a bit disappointed. The effective mass of the Technics SL1200 arm with third-party headshell comes in at around 15g, so firmly medium-mass, and this combination yields nice results. Luckily, the AT95E works well with capacitive loads way above the recommended range, otherwise it would not be such a successful cartridge.

Now, my VM95E has acceptable inner groove distortion level and is a pleasure to listen to. After deciding to look into the budget category, I stumbled upon this model. With this very liveable sound, I can imagine owners of this cartridge (who have not been bitten by the upgrade bug) being happy to carry on living with it without the urge to move on. After doing some research, and deciding it would be wise to stay within the VM95 series due to its ideal match with that tonearm, I upgraded to the VM95SH. The VM95 cartridge was were aligned to Technics specifications and set with a digital scale to track at 2 grams with the appropriate bias force applied.

Thanks again for your analysis. It's just assumed that when the latter is the case and the suggested tracking force is applied, the SRA/VTA should ideally be correct.

The freshened design is welcome and a big step above the design of old, though the excellent slip-on stylus cover of the previous generation is retained, it too with a fresh new look. It has a narrow horizontal contact surface and larger vertical contact surface which is not only best suited to tracking high frequencies way beyond audibility but also causes less record wear. . 0.3 x 0.7 elliptical replacement stylus for these cartridges: AT95E . by Roberto C2H3 26 Nov 2015 17:19, Post If you have a.

Using the brush w/ 0.2-0.25 grams extra VTF to accommodate and for SL-1200 MK2 users looking to do the same, I am using the Technics counterweight attached at the back of the tonearm. In the 30-40 price range, there is little competition for the AT95E from other cartridges with elliptical styli, but it just so happens that this cartridge gives excellent value for money. However, if you have sensitive ears, you might want to look somewhere else. VTA was set such that the arm lay parallel to the record with the stylus in the groove. It manages to blend very nicely; soothing to the ears and clear. The biggest downside with the AT95E is that it can sound a bit boring and boxed-in, whereas the Ortofon 2M Red might become slightly fatiguing in the long run, especially if you have a bright system. The music sounds livelier and more engaging with the Ortofon 2M Red. The midrange is not nice at all. The VM95 styli are also compatible with the AT-XP series DJ cartridges and vice versa.

The half-inch standard mount AT95E phonograph cartridge offers outstanding clarity and detail. The sound doesnt fully shine through. 0.75 to 1.25 grams is the tracking force range without using the brush. Hence, the capacitive load is a big issue on paper. Itd be a stretch to say its flawless, but it does come to mind on occasion. Nevertheless, this does potentially offer an upgrade path for AT95 users, and will at least keep those cartridges in service when stylus replacements are no-longer manufactured.
