Audio Technica AT-VMN95SH Stylus

This is the replacement stylus as found on the AT-VM95SH. It can also be used to upgrade any of the AT-VM95 series of cartridges.

The 'SH' (for Shibata) is the top of the tree in the Audio Technica AT-VM95 range.

Shibata styli are amongst the most costly to cut and are a diamond profile designed for exceptionally good detail retrieval and an unusually extended frequency response.

They also last very well, track well and of course sound great too!

The diamond is a Nude design - whereas lesser 'bonded' styli us a small diamond tip bonded to an intermediary shank (often made of steel) which is then attached to the cantilever, a 'Nude' model uses a much larger (and sadly much more expensive) diamond tip to dispense with the intermediary spacer. This provides much improved mechanical coupling between the diamond and the cantilever, whilst reducing tip mass resulting in all areas of the performance being improved
