Audio-Technica AT-VM95C – VM95 Series Conical Stereo Cartridge
The Audio-Technica AT-VM95C is the entry-level conical stylus cartridge in the VM95 range, designed to replace previous favourites such as the AT91, AT91R and CN5625AL. It delivers dependable performance, smooth playback and excellent value, making it an ideal upgrade or replacement for everyday vinyl listeners.
Fitted with a conical stylus and aluminium cantilever, the AT-VM95C offers a 4.0mV output voltage and is engineered to provide consistent, well-balanced sound across a wide range of systems. As part of the VM95 family, it shares the same cartridge body as other models in the series, so you can easily upgrade to a different stylus profile at any time — including Elliptical, Elliptical Nude, Microlinear or Shibata — without replacing the entire cartridge.
The VM95 platform is designed for long-term value. Replace the stylus when required, or step up to a more sophisticated stylus profile as your system evolves.
The AT-VM95C is a cost-effective starting point into the VM95 ecosystem — offering performance, flexibility and trusted Audio-Technica quality for vinyl playback.
