Product Description
Audio Technica AT-VM95SP features an SP stylus for mono SP records. Used with a dedicated archiving phono preamplifier equalizer incorporating various functions to generate a mono signal from Stereo inputs (Mono L+R/L/R, LR Variable Mix) allows professional archivers to minimize noise and distortion by sampling the least damage side of the grooves from an old record.
Since SP records have monaural modulation, it is recommended to use the “MONO ON” function of your standard Stereo Phono Preamp to minimise record surface noise.
Styli compatibility
Every cartridge diamond stylus becomes worn after a period of play. Around 500 hours for a conical stylus, 300 hours for an Elliptical stylus, 1000 hours for a Microlinear stylus and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus. VM95 Series dual moving magnet cartridges can be used almost forever by replacing the interchangeable stylus.
It is no longer necessary to purchase a complete cartridge when your diamond is worn out, you can simply buy the matching replacement stylus, but also enjoy the experience of upgrading your cartridge with a different stylus. The six models of VM95 Series cartridges all use the same electromagnetic engine-body, so each of the six replacement styli are perfectly compatible.
