The Audio-Technica AT-VM95ML is a dual moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge fitted with a nude MicroLinear stylus — a line-contact profile that traces the groove wall with exceptional precision, extending frequency response to 25,000 Hz and dramatically reducing record wear compared to elliptical designs. The nude construction eliminates bonding agent mass for improved transient speed, while the VM95 series' universal stylus-swap platform means you can step up to a Shibata stylus without replacing the cartridge body. An outstanding choice for audiophiles seeking high-resolution vinyl playback.

- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers

- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
