## Long description

Replacement stylus for Audio-Technica AT-VMN95SH (VM95 series). This user-replaceable needle is designed for VM95-compatible moving-magnet cartridges and restores accurate groove contact for improved clarity and reduced record wear. The AT-VMN95SH features an aluminium cantilever and a Shibata-profile diamond tip in a nude square shank, intended to reproduce detailed mid-to-high frequencies and sustain stable tracking for vinyl playback.
Advantages
The Shibata profile provides extended contact with the groove wall, delivering detailed mid-high response and consistent channel balance. The aluminium cantilever offers a lightweight transmission path from the diamond to the cartridge generator, helping preserve transient detail. Interchangeable design across the VM95 series means you can replace only the stylus rather than the whole cartridge, reducing long-term cost and simplifying maintenance.
Suitable for
Turntables using VM95-series moving-magnet cartridges
Users seeking improved mid-to-high frequency detail and stable tracking
Owners who prefer replacing the stylus rather than the entire cartridge
When it may not be suitable
This replacement stylus is designed specifically for VM95-series compatible cartridges and will not fit cartridges with a different mounting or generator design. If your cartridge uses a non-VM95 interchangeable system or a fixed integrated stylus, this product will not be compatible. Also, if your priority is the warm characteristics of a conical or very different tip profile, the Shibata tip delivers a more detailed, forward mid-high presentation which may differ from that tonal preference.
Key specifications
Tip profile: Shibata
Cantilever material: aluminium
Shank style: nude square shank
Compatibility: VM95-series interchangeable moving-magnet cartridges
Intended use: replacement stylus for vinyl playback
How to use
Power off and lift the tonearm to a secure service position. Carefully remove the worn stylus from the cartridge body by pulling it straight out according to the cartridge manufacturer’s instructions. Align the replacement AT-VMN95SH with the cartridge head shell and push it straight in until it seats securely. Lower the tonearm and check tracking force and alignment with your turntable’s recommended settings before playback. Handle the diamond tip and cantilever gently and avoid touching the tip directly to prevent damage.
What to consider before purchase
Confirm your cartridge is VM95-series compatible and uses an interchangeable stylus system
Decide if the Shibata tip profile suits your tonal preference (detailed mid-high response)
Plan for periodic replacement based on usage—Shibata tips have a different wear lifespan than conical or elliptical profiles
Usage recommendations
Use a tracking force and anti-skate setting recommended for your specific VM95 cartridge model and check alignment after installation. Regularly clean records and the stylus with a proper stylus brush to extend the life of the replacement needle and maintain consistent sound quality.
