Audio-Technica AT-VMN95EBK Replacement Elliptical Stylus

The Audio-Technica AT-VMN95EBK is a genuine replacement stylus designed for the award-winning VM95 Series cartridges. Featuring a bonded elliptical diamond stylus mounted on a lightweight aluminum cantilever, the AT-VMN95EBK delivers improved groove tracking, enhanced detail retrieval, lower distortion, and better high-frequency response compared to standard conical styli.

The "BK" version is a special black-colored edition of the popular AT-VMN95E stylus. Sonically identical to the standard green VMN95E, it offers the same performance while providing a premium black aesthetic that pairs perfectly with modern turntables and cartridges.
