Rated 5 out of 5

A significant upgrade for serious vinyl listeners

Crazy how good this thing is for the money Made the mistake of streaming one song and I can't tell you how much broader, more alive the music feels from this thing. Pair with some good speakers and the records just sing

Outstanding Choice

Just upgraded to the AT-VM95ML today. Actually just received my new turntable earlier this week. Enjoyed the sound and liked it better than the Fluance RT83 but knew upgrading the stylus was needed. I was told by friend my turntable would be twice as good if added the AT-VM95ML. One of the best moves I've ever made. The bass, treble and vocals are so much better. The highs and lows stick out and even hear a few sounds I didn't hear before when listening to Bob Seger. An awesome choice on my part.

good but not Audio Technica's best value

very good cartridge/stylus. towards the upper price end of the Audio Technica 95 line. when all is well sounds great. however, be advised this stylus doesn't seem to "like" all records, particularly very old ones, e.g. early 70's or older. on some of these older records it seems to pick up imperfections and distortion that other less expensive stylus doesn't. also, because the micro linear tip gets down deeper in the records grooves than others it digs up more dust/dirt and often requires stopping the record to clean the tip. the good news is that one play usually takes care of this problem.

Can't go wrong with the ML

Im coming from an AT-95e and the difference put a smile on my face. Well worth it. My music varies from metal to jazz and everything in between. And in all genres this cartridge/stylus combo shines. Very clean crisp highs, smooth, deep bass and low surface noise. Would definitely recommend, two thumbs up
