VM95 Series dual moving
magnet stereo cartridge w/Shibata stylus
SHIBATA STYLUS
This VM95 Series
cartridge with 2.7 x 0.26 mil Shibata stylus fits half-inch mount turntables.
The cartridge offers excellent channel separation and low distortion for
outstanding tonal quality. The Shibata tipped VM95 offers a rich exciting
sound, it is not rolled off in the top end, more reduced output, its all there
but not as prominent, the midrange is slightly more forward with a bigger
stage, giving a real musicality and toe tapping response! If you system is a
little too clean and detailed the Shibata will bring that musical warmth to it
we all strive for!
