Audio Technica At95e Phonograph Cartridge 1/2 Mount

Product Information

Distortion wasn't always present and didn't totally ruin the sound experience, but I started getting fixated on it and decided to see if adding a bit of weight would help. Watching' the stylus in the groove, and even with the Shure's dynamic stabiliser not in use, the M97xE 'looked' more settled and stable, whereas the AT95E looked a little 'wobbly and shaky' (not very scientific, I know). i think its safer to used well played non valubale lp's for the initial few hours until the diamond gets a bit of groove polish. It works in almost anything able to track at 2g or a smidgeon under, does get better as the turntable system it's fitted to is improved and it's hard to criticise for such low money.

There is a slight softness to the bass, with texture sometimes suffering, but it is tight and punchy, contributing significantly to the scale of the sound. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The AT100E is certainly more focused than the AT95E right across the frequency range, with a firmer bass and a sharper treble, uncovering noticeably more detail.

Reviews online tend to refer to the Omega as "warmer" than the At95e, which is known as a "sterile" but "accurate" performer.

The sweet and charming sound of the AT95E has been left behind for something bigger and more natural.

I have seen suggestions that the AT-96E is essentially the same as the AT-12 range, and they do look pretty much the same to me.I think the elliptical profile is the same, but the lower mass nude stylus should make it better at tracking - I say "should" because I've never heard one and so I can't say for myself. Stylus Profile: Elliptical Diamond (upgrade for ATN93, ATN3400, ATN3401, ATN3410), Tracking Force: 1.

I found the AT95E to have a relaxed and laid-back presentation whereas the Ortofon 2M Red has a brighter and more analytical presentation. I have used the AT95E on various turntables but have conducted this review on a Technics SL1200 Mk5.

less inner groove distortion - not that the basic stylus is bad on those points, it delivers very well! Fabulous detail and resolution; but more importantly, so engaging that I can't wait to get home at night to play a record. In the enjoyment department, I found it hard to pick one over the other in this particular comparison. In the end there wasn't that much of a sonic difference with the only real difference noted was a somewhat 'warmer' sound from the M97xE, probably due to the increased output in the 30 to 60 Hz range combined with the slight upper treble roll off.

Whether one would consider either to be better than the other probably depends on the words I use to describe them (e. However, do bear in mind I was testing on a Pro-ject debut 3, Technics SL1500 and a CJ Walker with a rewired tonearm. The AT VM95ML will take care all of your sibilance and IGD problems except for those that have been baked into the vinyl, and even those will sound much better. Its weighty balance and highly accomplished midrange will no doubt have wide appeal, and will keep many people happy without hankering for an upgrade. I did my testing using the Lacinato ABX audio testing software, which is free to use, listening via Audio Technica ATH-M50 closed-back headphones.

The AT95E/HSB provides outstanding overall performance for mid-range systems due to its elliptical diamond stylus and dual magnet setup, and comes preassembled with a HS10 headshell for a quick and easy set-up.

Yes it is vibrant, dynamic and rich in detail as reviewers and users say, and some users may no longer wish to upgrade further.Dynamics are good, and together with the weighty balance give the sound a sense of drama and scale, successfully conveying the emotion of the music – this is quite a departure from the polite, contained sound of the AT95E. I had the performance of that reference setup in the back of my head when I did the reviews and comparisons. I don't know how long the AT95E has been manufactured for, but its excellent reputation over many years is very justified and well deserved. So is the overall consensus that the ML styli upgrade for the 95e is the better way to go versus the aftermarket options from LP Gear and Turntable Needles? None of my turntables have allowed provision for adjustment of VTA except by the addition of shims etc.
