3.0 mil conical (78 rpm) stylus · Moving magnet cartridge
Check your tonearm mounting, cartridge weight and phono input before ordering. A headshell combo still needs a compatible tonearm.

The matching stylus model is AT-VMN95SP. This 3.0 mil stylus is intended for wide-groove 78 rpm shellac records; it is not an everyday LP or 45 rpm stylus. Your turntable must support 78 rpm. The /H version includes a headshell; its cartridge uses the same replacement stylus as the cartridge-only version.
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.
For wide-groove 78 rpm shellac, choose AT-VMN95SP. The C, E, EN, ML and SH styli shown in this collection are for ordinary 33⅓/45 rpm microgroove records and are not replacements for playing shellac. VM95 body fit does not mean the styli suit the same records; your turntable must also support 78 rpm.
Complete cartridges and headshell versions are separate products. Check the tonearm connector, weight and setup requirements before choosing.

The model name tells you whether you are buying a cartridge, a replacement stylus, or a cartridge with a headshell.
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.
