Audio-Technica AT-VM95E/H Moving Magnet Phono Cartridge with AT-HS6BK Headshell

The Audio-Technica AT-VM95E/H moving magnet cartridge, pre-mounted on an AT-HS6BK headshell, offers a ready-to-use solution for vinyl playback. It is designed for direct mounting to any compatible tonearm. The pre-mounted design removes the need for fiddly wiring or manual cartridge alignment during installation. Built on the VM95 architecture, the unit allows for stylus replacements or upgrades without needing to replace the entire cartridge. It is compatible with turntables featuring a moving-magnet (MM) phono input.

The elliptical stylus is designed to track record grooves accurately, retrieving musical detail. This profile provides better channel separation and clarity than standard conical styli. As a component that attaches directly to the tonearm, it relies on the turntable’s own mechanical adjustments to function. The unit is intended for everyday listening for those looking for a simple equipment upgrade. It is compatible with both Audio-Technica components and other standard moving-magnet systems.
