Audio-Technica Audio-Technica AT-VM95E/H Turntable Headshell/Cartridge Combo Kit

Muy buena calidad cambié la que venía en un Dual 301 por esta y se nota bastante

A agulha da um diferencial no som do vinil. Ele melhora o equilíbrio entre graves, agudos e médios.

Lo adquirí por recomendación del técnico que recupero la vieja tornamesa technics sl-q303 de mi padre. el tecnico me dijo que esta era una excelente opción por calidad y precio. en mi opinión después de meses de su compra y de la reproducción de cientos de horas de mi colección me siento muy satisfecho con su desempeño. me di la oportunidad de ver si esto de los vinilos era lo mío o solo un capricho pasajero. junto con este cartucho el técnico me recomendó el pre amp Behringer Microphono PP400. las dos cosas como básicas y con la intencion de ir experimentando mejoras. ahorita ya remplace mi pre amp por un Cambridge Audio Alva Solo con este mismo cartucho y mejoro en la espacialidad y claridad. me gusto pero si sigo con la tendencia de tener un estándar de calidad de mas o menos homogéneo, al mismo nivel me toca remplazar este cartucho y irme por algo como Audio-Technica AT-VM95SH/H. que esta 3 veces mas cara. pero prefiero darle un poco mas de horas de uso a esta antes y en realidad si lo que quiero es levantar a un nivel tan alto la calidad de música, creo que me terminaría gastando una fortuna. honestamente creo que ahorita si quiero muy buena calidad con una inversión mucho mas razonable podría usar otras fuentes distintas al vinil pero lo dira el tiempo.

Un rapport qualité prix au top qui donne une seconde vie à ma Technics SL-D2 : son clair et précis, installation rapide et simple en remplacement de l'origine. Je recommande.

This combo set is the real deal at a good price: Headshell Quality: I think this is a decent, perfectly adequate, albeit not high-audiophile grade headshell. It is indeed made in China (says so on underside) but the craftsmanship looks fine with no obvious defects. I will say I was hesitant to buy from the pictures. It looked like a bold, flashy design to me and I wasn't too fond of it. I'm happy to report it looks more understated in person than the pics may lead you to believe. It's an attractive, adequately manufactured headshell in line with the price. No issues. Ease of installation: this new AT cartridge line is making some waves because of its easy, no-nut mounting. I can report it is indeed easy beyond belief to manipulate the cartridge and align it. Kudos to AT for making a simple yet vastly effective design tweak that helps all of us with big hands and small patience. All you need is a flathead screwdriver to adjust the alignment. The headshell itself screwed right in to my table with no issues. Sound: Admittedly I'm still in the break in period. It sounds great and delivers far more clarity and bass punch than the LP60 conical stylus, for example. Is it an order of magnitude better? I don't think so. However, with the LP60 stylus I always felt like my Edifier 1700BT powered speakers were never having their full potential unleashed - they were capable of more. With this cartridge, I feel as though they are now at their limit - and the cartridge could possibly deliver more with better speakers. So I would say to assume the quality here is perfectly in line with the past AT95E, and accoriding to some I have read, even superior. I never used an AT95E so I can't testify. In short, sounds great and is only getting better as it breaks in. Trackability: will keep this brief. Records that used to skip don't skip here. Is it my new turntable, the new stylus, or both? I don't know, but I have no tracking problems anymore. The future: I was debating many different cartridges and headshells but decided to bite the bullet and go with this trusted brand, despite a lack of reviews for this new generation. One of the biggest selling points for me was the upgrade path - with this installed, Audio Technica has 5 stylus replacements to choose from that just clip right on to the same cartridge body. So the $80 spent here to get my Technics up and running has potentially provided years of upgrade fun, should I so choose. But maybe I won't have to upgrade, knock on wood, because this sounds pretty damn good. Not a single complaint from this Everyman Wannabe-Audiophile reviewer. P.S. the packaging is great
