high value super low cost cartridge series

STOW, OH, May 6, 2026 — Audio-Technica is expanding its acclaimed VM95 Series lineup with the introduction of the AT-VM95EBK Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge and the AT-VM95EBK/H Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit. Featuring the same high-performance design as the popular AT-VM95E and AT-VM95E/H models, these products join the pre-existing AT-VMN95EBK stylus in a refined black finish for a cohesive, polished look.

The AT-VM95EBK brings the proven VM95 Series engineering into a clean black design, featuring a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus and specially wound coils that deliver a 4.0 mV output with excellent channel separation and low distortion. Designed for half-inch mount turntables, it features a durable low-resonance polymer housing with simple installation requiring just two screws and full compatibility with all six interchangeable AT-VMN95 replacement styli.

Also available is the AT-VM95EBK/H, which provides the same high-performance cartridge pre-mounted on the AT-HS6BK universal half-mount headshell, offering a streamlined, ready-to-install solution. Together, these new black editions provide vinyl listeners with the same trusted VM95 Series performance in a distinguished, cohesive finish.

The AT-VM95EBK Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge is available for a US MAP of $74, and the AT-VM95EBK/H Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit is available for a US MAP of $109. (you might be surprised by how good $74 can sound!_ed.)
