Audio Technica VM-95E Cartridge - do you need better Quality


The VM-95E is a very good sounding cartridge and are as low as $60 new on eBay. It is a step up from the VM-95C. If you have an expensive system even the higher quality VM540ML is likely not enough cartridge. However, for the up to $1500 audio system you likely will not hear the difference from better cartridges. The VM-95E is that good and by far the best cartridge vs cost.

@jasonbourne71  You were wondering how the A/T would fare against the Grado?  It would be like taking a blanket off the speakers.

I wonder how it compares to vm740ML? I usually prefer MC type cartridges - but I got an old Dual 1229Q and would like to experiment with MM.

I bought for $50 a ML stylus. No ID, but is red and same case as ML. The seller sold clothing and had this stylus.
