Audio Technica ATN95E Elliptical Stylus Stylus for Phono Cartridge AT95E) (Green)

Product Information

The LP gear one uses carbon fiber instead of a specific metal, someone on the site related them to the plastic stylus of the super low buck stuff.

The ATN95E stands as a testament to Audio Technica’s commitment to tradition, innovation, and peerless quality.Flip the headshell over and locate the flanges that protrude from either side of the ATN95E's green body. I don't think the new AT95E would yield any sonic improvements, and the microline and shibata replacement styli are out of my budget (especially needing to regularly replace them as they wear out). When I tried it for the first time, it slid across the vinyl and no attempt to adjust the arm on my turntable could correct the problem. When accuracy and audio fidelity are of paramount importance, the ATN95E stands out as a true maverick, ensuring that listeners enjoy the groovy charm of vinyl records with sheer perfection, minus the hindrance of unwanted distortions.

Today, Audio-Technica’s audio products have become globally synonymous with consistently high sonic performance paired with impeccable build construction and artistic design.And, yes, I know which pieces I play that have pressing issues or other problems such as tracks being cut too hot, but I suspect I can improve upon my sound with an upgrade. Let me share what a couple of online retailers suggested when I reached out to them so I can get feedback here. Typical capacitances of phono pre-amps on the market are in the range 100-220pF, although a few delve as low as 50pF.

I set the capacitance on my phono pre-amp to 150pF, resulting in a total capacitive load of ~275pF (after adding in 125pF cable capacitance).Later, if you have more money, you can upgrade to the Shibata or Microline stylus that will also fit.

Despite what manufactures claim mono switches invariably add the two channels by simply shorting the two channels together, even very" expensive units do this. It will deal with Inner Groove distortion better than the AT VM 95 EN and it isn't much more cost than it. It should be noted that a special stylus with a finer elliptical profile is available for the AT95E, with part number ATN95EX.But this is where taste comes in, as I can imagine some people preferring the AT95E for its more gentle, easy-going character. I appreciate the suggestions and understand what you're saying, but my gear is listed in my signature (with regard to your comment about the turntable). The AT-VM95E delivers more substance in the bass but less sparkle in the treble, not to forget its wonderfully revitalised midrange. got it in and tossed it on the SME because I had a spare head shell and figured it was quicker than mounting it to the linn arm. Stylus Profile: Elliptical Diamond (upgrade for ATN93, ATN3400, ATN3401, ATN3410), Tracking Force: 1.
