VM95 Series - Styli Compatibility

Every cartridge diamond stylus becomes worn after a period of play. Around 500 hours for a conical stylus, 300 hours for an Elliptical stylus, 1000 hours for a Microlinear stylus, and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus.

Our VM95 Series dual moving magnet cartridges can be used almost forever by replacing the interchangeable stylus. It is no longer necessary to purchase a complete cartridge when your diamond is worn out, you can simply buy the matching replacement stylus, but also enjoy the experience of upgrading your cartridge with a different stylus.

The six models of VM95 Series cartridges all use the same electromagnetic engine-body, therefore each of the six replacement styli are perfectly compatible.

The rumours are true this is a fantastic sounding cart and shibata stylus. Put in on my at pl120 and after listening to about 3 records it broke in. Amazing bass mids and highs i find myself hearing more of every album i put on now. Considering most other shibata stylus go for 2x or more the price this was a no brainer (especially considering the headshell comes with it too!) and i also like the fact you can use every stylus type in the cart. 100% no regrets.

    I had purchased an Audio Technica atvm740ml cartridge that almost cost twice the price of this cart and did not sound as close as this model.
    They are two different stylus for sure. I had anticipated the ml cart sound sound better but at the end it wasn't compliant with my system. It sounded very harsh,lean, The music was lifeless.. When I had purchased the atvm95sh model, everything came to life. The highs were detailed The base was more evident. Everything sounded neutral and balanced. Very happy with this cart. I'm eager to try the At33sh model

    5.0 out of 5 stars Might be deal of the decade
    Reviewed in Canada on January 8, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I got this combination of cartridge and headshell on sale for cheaper than the cartridge alone sells for anywhere, Canada or world wide. This is a nude Shibata stylus that is typically two to three times more expensive on other cartridges. You can hear amazing clarity and stereo separation and well defined bass with this cartridge. In fact, the stereo separation is so uncannily good that I had to double check my connections to make sure nothing was out of phase.

    The headshell is of excellent quality and on my Technics SL1200 this combo takes almost no time to install, just be sure to set tracking force and angle. If you want to take a leap to a top tier cartridge this might be the best deal going.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth and sweet
    Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    You won't find another cartridge that sports a Shibata stylus in this price range; and for much higher price range for that matter.
    A giant improvement over the classic AT95E I once had. The midrange is grainless and slightly forward; treble is sweet yet not lacking detail; bass is ample but not muddled. It reminds me of Linn K9, a MM cartridge I enjoyed the most before the stylus worn out.
    If you want a cartridge that gets you to focus on the music, not the technical sonic, this is the one to get.
    It does takes a few hours to break in the suspension, be patient. You will be rewarded. For this price having this sonic and a Shibata stylus, 5 stars.

    Replaced original stylus on my Audio Technica LP120 and a SIGNIFICANT difference in sound quality, very happy. Wasn't about to remove onboard phono and all the other esoteric list of items as some people are doing. 'change the stylus' first and that's where you will get an appreciable difference.

    So bought the cheapest RT82, sold the Ortofon and plugged in this.

    A true audio bargain at the discounted price I paid. Increadibly detailed smooth cartridge. Tight bass, incredible mids and airy highs.. Be sure to check the alignment for your arm, it was off for my arm geometry. After a minor alignment adjustment the sound is just right. Can't recommend it enough.

    There is improvement over the Green cartridge that came stock on my Audio Technica.
    That said, it's hard to measure the return on the investment.
    Shibata should last 3 times as long, so I guess 3 times the price is OK, but I did not hear an earth-shattering improvement in sound.

    Incredible cart. Great sound with warm low notes, without it coming across as muddy. I’ve previously used a VM540ML and I love both. This Shibata is better for generic listening whereas the 540ML is more suited for audiophile records.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Equilibrio, raffinatezza e suono analogico
    Reviewed in Italy on May 11, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Considerevole upgrade rispetto alla basica vm95e. Maggiore Dettaglio, resa dei bassi notevolmente migliorata, più profonda e articolata, con grande equilibrio rispetto alle altre gamme (quella media è maggiormente in evidenza, rendendo il suono molto gradevole all'ascolto). Buona la tridimensionalità e la separazione degli strumenti. Il ricavo più pregevole si ottiene sulle voci, davvero ben valorizzate, naturali e con una microdinamica degna di nota. La testina restituisce una musicalità che ho molto apprezzato, non è mai affaticante e rimane comunque trasparente, senza quel tocco di colorazione e artificialità di altre concorrenti dello stesso livello che tendono a essere più "ruffiane" oppure eccessivamente analitiche; questo però implica che bisogna inserirla in una catena audio di pari livello, con caratteristiche simili, su un sistema di per sé già abbastanza rivelatore, anche se entry level , già tendente alla trasparenza, e montarla su un giradischi dalla buona meccanica, altrimenti non avrebbe senso, non verrebbe valorizzata. Insomma, va abbinata a amplificatore, casse e cavi con caratteristiche simili, altrimenti non è che da sola può fare miracoli.
    Tira fuori davvero tanto e la resa audio è sempre gradevole, anche su registrazioni non eccelse. L'equilibrio e la raffinatezza sono le sue caratteristiche principali, senza "effetti speciali".
    A mio avviso, dá il meglio di sé nei generi strumentali, proprio perché restituisce un suono caldo e analogico, pur conservando una certa apertura.
    Potrebbe avere senso come investimento anche se si progetta di migliorare nel tempo il proprio impianto hifi, magari sostituendo a poco a poco le componenti, perché garantisce ben 800 ore di ascolto.
