Audio Technica AT-VM95E vs AT-VM95ML Comparison Review + VM95 Series Range of Cartridges Overview

Great video. The AT95E has been the best value cartridge since its introduction. The current range in your video are all excellent with the ML being the pick of the bunch for me.

Yes agree, good review! Looking forward for next review, thanks!

Yes, the ML is a great upgrade from the E, but the E is still the best value in carts available currently, especially for the price. I sell many in my record store, as well as putting them on most tables I refurb and flip.

Very good and informative!

Thanks for your informative video. I left a comment on your comparison video. Thanks again !

Thank you for this amazing video. Nice channel.

Very informative!

Thank you! So helpful . . .

Thanks for your content.

probably the BEST VDO i have ever watched in you tube. BRAVO God bless you krub, from Thailand

Great review.Ive tried the all the styli and for me the best one was the C ,really drew me into the music.The ML on my turntable sounded boring and dull . Technically very good ,but strangely enough it left me wanting more .

I've tried all of the various VM95 styli except for the C, and I have to say that the ML is the best value IMHO. After I got it, I decided I would never get another E stylus ever again. I don't have the patience to try and dial out IGD. For me the ML is the sweet spot.

Hello, and thank you for your excellent video review. I have two turntables a Dual CS 505-3 and a Dual 621 and I was thinking of getting the AT-VM95ML for both. Do you think this would a good choice? If you don't mind offering an opinion, what AT-VM95 series would you suggest? Thank you.

Great video & explanation & I would like to say that I agree with all that you say & that I have bought all the range & I have fitted them to my Linn K9 Cartridge & the sound is just perfect for my ears & anyone who comes to listen to my music & I will say that anyone who buys the AT-VM95E with the cartridge & stylus as a starter pack will have great fun by buying the other models as just the Stylus pack because until they feel as though the Cartridge has had it's day they will be fine with what they have .. like I have ..

Nice review got the shibata love it real improvement tried the C and E first but you get what you pay for.exelent review thou.i subed

That's an excellent review that should really help some people decide if an upgrade beyond the VM95E is worth the extra money. Which one is preferred is always subjective, but with a system with decent resolution, the differences in the ML should indeed be fairly apparent, especially in higher frequencies. The differences between the ML and SH are more subtle. I tend to prefer the midrange warmth and slightly more delicate treble of the SH, but they're close, and with the benefit of longer service life from the ML, there's valid argument about which is better value. It's also worth mentioning that the ML wears more consistently than other profiles....most profiles degrade slowly over time with decreasing fidelity until they near the end of the useful service life. Whereas a microlinear profile sounds nearly the same right up until near the end of it's service life due to the cut of the profile, so not only longer service life, but closer to its original fidelity for that period.

Hi, thanks for the review. I own the 95E, ML and the Shibata. I find the E the most exciting of them all!

Nice info here, I have the AT-VM95E really enjoy it for the price, also, just picked up the schiit mani 2. Do you have any good ideas what settings I should use?

Good info. I have the 95ML and have just acquired the 95SH stylus. On first listening, the 95SH is more fleshed out , that is more body. Groove noise is about the same and the treble is very similar except for a little more air and decay. Hope this helps someone. Incidentally did you modify the Technics yourself? I have one but it has the standard arm. How much of a difference did the Rega arm provide?

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
