AT-VM95SP, as stereo cartridge for SP mono records, when used with a dedicated archiving phono preamplifier equalizer incorporating various functions to generate a mono signal from Stereo inputs (Mono L R, Mono L, Mono R, LR Variable Mix) allows professional archivers to minimize noise and distortion by sampling the least damage side of the grooves from an old record. All six models of the VM95 Series of cartridges, use the same electromagnetic engine-body and therefore each of the six replacement styli are perfectly compatible. The compatibility in the range will allow you to upgrade with any of the other styli in the Series Elliptical, Elliptical Nude, Microlinear and Shibata.
