The AT-VM95SP cartridge from Audio Technica features a Standard play (SP) stylus for mono SP records. When used with a dedicated archiving phono preamplifier equalizer with the functionality to generate a mono signal from Stereo inputs (Mono L+R/L/R, LR Variable Mix) allowing professional archivers to minimize any potential noise and distortion by sampling the least damage side of the grooves from an old record.

Since Standard play records have monaural modulation, it is recommended to use the “MONO ON” function of your standard Stereo Phono Preamp to minimise any potential record surface noise.

Every diamond stylus will become worn after a period of use. The lifespan for styli is approximately 500 hours for a conical stylus, 300 hours for an Elliptical stylus, 1000 hours for a Microlinear stylus and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus. The VM95 Series dual moving magnet cartridges can be used virtually forever by replacing the interchangeable stylus.

It is not necessary to buy a completely new cartridge when your diamond is worn out, you can simply purchase the matching replacement stylus, and you can also enjoy the experience of upgrading your cartridge with a different stylus. The six models of VM95 Series cartridges all use the same electromagnetic engine-body, so each of the six replacement styli are completely compatible.
