Audio-Technica AT-VMN95SH Shibata Replacement Stylus for AT-VM95SH Cartridge

The Audio-Technica AT-VMN95SH is the top-tier Shibata replacement stylus for the AT-VM95SH cartridge — and one of the smartest upgrades available for any cartridge in the VM95 series. Because every VM95 stylus shares the same mount, you can also snap this Shibata assembly onto a VM95E, VM95C, or other VM95 body and instantly elevate it to the series' highest level of groove-tracing performance.

The 2.7 x 0.26 mil Shibata diamond is a line-contact profile originally developed for quadraphonic records, with a long, narrow contact patch that reads high-frequency detail conventional elliptical tips leave behind. Nude square shank construction — the diamond mounted directly to the cantilever without a metal bonding pellet — reduces tip mass for faster, more precise transient response. The result is airier treble, cleaner inner grooves, and less record wear, since the load is spread over a larger area of the groove wall.
