The set is assembled and tested at Audio-Technica’s factory in Fukui, Japan, so it performs reliably straight out of the box. It is a practical upgrade or spare for turntables with a universal ½\" headshell mount, such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/audio-technica-at-lp120x-bt-manual-direct-drive-turntable-analogue-bluetooth-usb\"\u003eAT-LP120XBT-USB\u003c\/a\u003e, with no cartridge to mount yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/audio-technica-at-vm95e-elliptical-stereo-cartridge-on-at-hs6-headshell-black-photo-angled.jpg?v=1791401123\" alt=\"Audio-Technica AT-VM95E cartridge pre-mounted on the AT-HS6BK headshell\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElliptical bonded stylus\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elliptical diamond stylus, 0.3 × 0.7 mil on a bonded round shank and an aluminium pipe cantilever, follows the groove modulation more precisely than a conical stylus.

When the diamond wears out, you simply buy the matching AT-VMN95E replacement stylus rather than a whole new cartridge, and you can upgrade the sound later by fitting a different VM95 Series stylus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePre-mounted on the AT-HS6BK\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-HS6BK headshell has a 9g die-cast aluminium body, and the cartridge and headshell together weigh 15.5g.
