I hope this helps. Kind regards, Matt @ Audio-Technica UK **Q: Would this be an ideal upgrade for a Lenco L-90 turntable?.** A: Hi, this would be a good upgrade without breaking the bank. The stylus can be upgraded if or when you fancy it or funds allow. Happy listening. **Q: Has anyone replaced the VM95C for this one or can recommend another ??** A: If you have the VM95C then you can upgrade just by changing the stylus (not the whole cartridge), using the AT-VMN95E (Elliptical) stylus assembly which will give you an extended frequency response when compared to the VM95C (Conical) stylus tip. Alternatively you can upgrade further to any of the following styli as they are all compatible with the original VM95 body - AT-VMN95 EN / ML or SH styli.

Detailed yet smooth - played on a Heybrook TT2, put through an A&R A60 and Tannoy Mercury speakers.Great value for money! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Rega Planar P1 *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 June 2026* Good value compared to the AT-ART9XI at £1299!Makes a noticeable upgrade for my Rega Planar P1 and was easy to fit.The sound has more detail and clarity and better bass compared to the stock cartridge. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A.T knocked the ball out the park with this one *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 30 June 2026* Would give it ten if I could, there is very little difference between this ickle green 💚 monster and the Ortofon blue 💙 except the price, this is fantastic when listening to the early 80s synth eara its bright they let the synths fill the room with midge ures voice booming out O Vienna absolutely banging set this green monster up reet and it will 100% knock ya sox off ya feet i was an oferton snob but not anymore ok this lasts 300 hours but at less than £30 a pop easy to replace the stylus every few months I prefer my tunes to tv averaging 4 hours a day, get it set it up reet and he will suprise you just need to remember to det your pre amp to 47pF as these stylus prefer very low capacitance and use a decent low capacitance sheilded R.C.A cable from your deck especially if your running a Technics SL-1200 GR2 otherwise them symbols on the drum kit will hurt your ears so 4 hours a day i should need a new stylus in around 3 month and it cost less than a decent bottle of vodka 😉 ## Frequently Bought Together - Audio-Technica AT-VM95E Dual Moving Magnet Cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7mil Elliptical Stylus - Turntable Cartridge Alignment 3-pc Kit w/Premium PE Case - Vertical Tracking Angle Block for DJ Turntable & Phono Cartridge, Stylus Digital Scale, Tonearm Cartridge - Record Player Accessories - Audio-Technica Universal Headshell (AT-HS1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/89806417-at-vm95e-vm95-series-elliptical-stereo-cartridge-green](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/89806417-at-vm95e-vm95-series-elliptical-stereo-cartridge-green) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
