AUDIO-TECHNICA AT-95E AT 95E AT95E PHONO CARTRIDGE

Imported and packaged by LP Tunes, the Audio-Technica AT95E phono cartridge has a very distinguished and colorful lineage. On its own, it has been a multiple recipient of Best Buy ratings in the UK. Its lineage is intertwined with the classic and musically acclaimed Linn Basik, K5 and K9 phono cartridges. Unlike these cartridges however, the AT95E is delightfully affordable and available. Since October, 2004 and up to the present, the Audio-Technica AT95E phono cartridge is included in the Stereophile Recommended Components List. It is the only inexpensive phono cartridge to be included in this highly selective recommended list! The review summarized the performance of the Audio-Technica AT95E phono cartridge with the following words: "Makes music for 50 bucks!"

Paul Szabady in Stereotimes March 2007 had this to say about the Audio-Technica AT95E phono cartridge:

"The AT95E integrates the range of the sonic bandwidth very well: no part of the spectrum sticks out at the listener. It doesnt sound bright and it doesnt sound dull at the top frequencies. Midrange is clear and detailed with no spittiness on vocals, though really cheap and inadequate analog match-ups will cause an slight upper mid-range burr."

The half-inch standard mount and dual-magnet Audio-Technica AT95E cartridge sounds clear, dynamic and richly balanced. It allows music lovers to use limited means to upgrade their turntables and thus attain a higher level of discernment and listening pleasure without the financial burden typically associated with high end cartridges. Yes it is vibrant, dynamic and rich in detail as reviewers and users say, and some users may no longer wish to upgrade further. The Audio-Technica AT95E phono cartridge has been consistently rated a "Best Buy" in the UK and we agree wholeheartedly.

lower volume output?

Is this cartridge’s output volume considerably lower than of a say, shure m-44? i’m experience a good sound overall, pretty much what i was expecting, but at a much lower volume. i’m having to increase around 25-30% the knob to achieve similar results.
any comments will be much appreciated.
thanks!

"Bonded" version ?

I received the JICO replacement Shure VN-35E stylus for V15 Type III Series cartridge.
The sound produced by the stylus is excellent.
I regret, however, that there is no indication on your site that this is the "Bonded" version of the Stylus and not the "Nude" version also produced by Jico. I deduced this information from research I had to do on other companies' sites. I like to know exactly what I usually buy without having to guess.

A+ and great quality for the price. I depend on this company for all my phono needs. They are the best!

Clarity and transparency

Just what I needed. This cart breathes new life into old records, also minimizes surface noise. What a bargain!

Mitsubishi LT-5V 3 replacement belts

So glad you were able to provide the 3 belts for my 1983 Mitsubishi linear tracking turntable. They were shipped promptly and arrived in great condition. Now this classic turntable works great except I have to find a replacement tonearm lightbulb so tracking error problem gets fixed.
