Great stylus
Guest999 from SAN JOSE, CA on 12/13/2024
I upgraded from the old one ATN3600L to this stylus and I could tell big differences. The sound is clearer and has less surface noise from records. Really worthy to have this stylus.

Great upgrade
D. from SYRACUSE, NY on 4/12/2024
Upgraded our Technics AT-LP3XBT'S AT-VM95C Cartridge to this AT-VM95ML/H and saw a substantial difference. Smoother warmer Decent soundstage width wise, depth not as good but you're not missing anything with the better clarity this cartridge produces. The original cartridge sounded much more compressed. Decent instrument separation, some muddiness in lower range but I kind of enjoyed it.
Pros: Great value. Very nice sound in the upper midrange level. No fatiguing highs.
Cons: Needs more depth but still very good, you have to pay more for that depth but for this price its pretty darn good.

Excellent replacement for Ortofon red
Jeffrey from Indianapolis, IN on 2/1/2024
Replaced the Ortofon red on my Technics 1500 C very good overall tonal quality than the Ortofon red which was good but a little bright. A good replacement for the money.
Pros: Excellent replacement choice and fair price.
Cons: None

Outstanding Value
William from New Albany, OH on 1/31/2024
I bought this as an upgrade to the cartridge that came with my Technics SL-1500 (which I also bought from Crutchfield), and it has exceeded expectations. Great sound with defined highs without losing the lows. I bought the head shell version so that I could simply plug it in. Great product along with the usual outstanding customer attention from Crutchfield.

AT-VM95ML/H & AT-VM95C/H Cartridges
Chris from Troy, OH on 1/16/2024
I ordered the VM95ML/H along with a VM95C/H for my new Technics SL-1200GR2 turntable. I wanted the microlinear for my LPs and the conical for my polystyrene 45s from the '60s. I had considered an expensive moving coil but decided to go this way for now, with the ability to swap them without having to rebalance the tonearm. After getting everything dialed in I put on an LP and my wife and I were really enjoying it, but when I went to flip to the other side I realized I had the conical mounted and not the microcline. I was happily surprised, and when I switched to the correct one it sounded even better. I am very happy with both of these and having already had Audio-Technica cartridges I find them to be excellent performers and fantastic bargains. I will use this comment for both reviews.
Pros: Lightweight and perfectly pre-mounted. Great value for the price.
Cons: The material used for the stylus assembly looks like Fisher-Price plastic.

Best upgrade for me so far.
Eugene from Milford, PA on 1/14/2024
My order arrived very quickly and was very well packaged. The cartridge and head shell were simple to install , and I used a Baerwald arc protractor to align it on my ancient Technics 1300. It is a noticeable improvement over the Stanton I had, and I'm sure it is performing better than my system can reproduce and what my ears can appreciate. It certainly has renewed my appreciation of the system I have, and my desire to upgrade further.
Pros: Excellent sound, easy setup
Cons: None

Audio-Technica AT-VM95ML/H
Crutchfield customer from Maitland, FL on 11/13/2023
I replaced the "green" cartridge that came with my Audio Technica turntable. There is a noticeable difference with the new one. Channel separation is better and the sound "seems" to be better. For vinyl lovers, this is a nice lower cost, easily installed improvement.

Robert from Loudon, TN on 9/3/2023
I replaced the Audio-Technica AT-VM95C that came with my Technics SL-100C turntable with the Audio-Technica AT-VM95ML and was very impressed with the improvement I heard; more detail and a higher degree of realism along with a wider and deeper soundstage. Buying the cartridge premounted on the Audio-Techica headshell was a nice convenience; I checked the overhang and it was dead on.
Pros: Great performance for the money.
Cons: None.

Blown away
Mark from Berthoud, CO on 5/1/2023
There's been so much praise online for this cart and its bigger brother (Vm540ml), that go into much further technical detail than I could ever articulate, so I'll keep it short and simple. For years I've had the 2M Red as my my cart. Both of my last turntables came with them as stock and I never really felt the need to change. Recently though I had been considering an upgrade and after a recent accident to my 2M stylus, the opportunity arose to get the vm95ml. I set it up on my TT (sl1500c) this weekend and had a chance to listen to two albums my Mdou Moctar and Kurt Vile and was totally blown away by the improvement in sound. Bass had so much more kick, instrumentation was brought so much more forward and I really was hearing things that had been buried or muddled before with greater clarity. It wasn't a slight difference in sound, but a huge improvement, in my humble opinion. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, just wish I'd done it sooner. Great service from Crutchfield too, arrived perfectly packed and at my door two days after purchase.

Sounds great
John from Olympia, WA on 1/12/2023
Excellent sound quality. I'm using this on the Technics SL100 turntable. Detail is very good, frequencies are audible up and down the spectrum. I upgraded from the stock AT-VM95C and I am pleased with this purchase.

Crystal clear. Replaced original cartridge that came with Audio Technical turntable. Very pleased with balance, sonic clarity, and having the cartridge delivered with cartridge head assembled. Had it out of the box and installed in a flash!
