Description
The Audio-Technica AT-VM95SH/H is a bundle that includes the Audio-Technica AT-VM95SH cartridge and the Audio-Technica AT-HS6BK cartridge holder (shell).
The new cartridge features a Shibata diamond stylus tip. The Nude Shibata stylus tip is highly popular among audiophiles. The Shibata stylus reproduces strong and rich mid and low frequencies, as well as providing a frequency response up to 25,000 Hz.
The Audio-Technica AT-VM95SH is the fifth most expensive and highest quality cartridge in the new line. The approximate lifespan of the AT-VMN95SH Shibata stylus is around 800 hours.
Features:
- The AT-VM95SH has an improved design with a stiffer low-resonance body.
- The developed radial damping ring improves transient response and extends the frequency range up to 25,000 Hz.
- The cantilever is made of aluminum tubing.
- Output voltage of 3.5 mV.
- Assembled and tested at the Audio-Technica factory in Fukui, Japan.
