Audio-Technica AT-VM95SH – VM95 Series Shibata Stereo Cartridge
The Audio-Technica AT-VM95SH features a Nude Shibata stylus — a premium diamond profile widely respected among audiophiles for its detailed, expressive performance. Its refined tip shape offers extended high-frequency response up to 25kHz, while also delivering rich mids and strong, controlled bass, making it ideal for discerning vinyl listeners.
Built with an aluminium cantilever and producing a 3.5mV output, the AT-VM95SH offers excellent tracking precision and compatibility with standard phono stages. As part of the VM95 Series, the cartridge body accepts any VM95 stylus assembly, allowing you to replace or upgrade the stylus at any time without needing to replace the entire cartridge.
The VM95 platform has been designed with long-term ownership in mind — once the stylus reaches the end of its life, simply fit a new stylus from the VM95 range. This flexibility also allows users to experience different stylus shapes and sonic signatures within the same cartridge housing.
For DJs, the VM95 body is even cross-compatible with AT-XP stylus assemblies, offering additional versatility for users who also use DJ mixers with high-gain phono inputs.
A superb choice for vinyl enthusiasts who value clarity, musicality and upgrade potential, the AT-VM95SH delivers the signature Shibata character with modern VM95 Series convenience.
