Product details
Compatibility & setup
The matching stylus model is AT-VMN95ML. VM95 stylus assemblies can be changed without replacing the cartridge body. Other VM95 profiles are compatible alternatives, but change the stylus specification. VM95 styli do not fit AT95E/AT95EX or the separate VM500/700 family.
Confirm the cartridge actually fitted to your turntable. Follow the replacement stylus instructions and required tracking force; physical fit alone does not make every stylus suitable for every record or use.

- Compatible AT-VM95 Replacement Styli
For ordinary 33⅓/45 rpm microgroove records, choose a suitable C, E, EN, ML or SH stylus. AT-VMN95SP is for wide-groove 78 rpm shellac, not ordinary LPs or 45s. Match both the cartridge body and the record format.

Understanding VM95 model names
The model name tells you whether you are buying a cartridge, a replacement stylus, or a cartridge with a headshell.
- AT-VM95: a complete cartridge. The letters that follow identify its stylus profile.
- AT-VMN95: a replacement stylus assembly for a VM95 cartridge body.
- /H: the cartridge is supplied pre-mounted on a headshell. Check the tonearm connector, weight range and alignment.
C is conical; E is bonded elliptical; EN is nude elliptical; ML is MicroLine; SH is Shibata. These profiles have different playback and setup characteristics.
SP is for wide-groove 78 rpm shellac. It is not the choice for ordinary LPs or 45s, even though the stylus fits the same VM95 body.
