As above this combo is seeing little use due to my love affair with my Shure.

Low hrs(under100) probably a fair bit less tbh but to be safe. Tracks at 2 gm and is very good. Headshell is one of the prettiest and best carbon ones ive tried.

Don't be put off by the fact it is bas d on an AT95.
The stylus really lifts the performance of this cartridge.
If you don't believe me, just do a quick Google and read the reviews. I have one, and it is very good.

It does Kevin. Surprising but it shows how good the generator is for such a small amount. Stylii are the dear things really. They dont come up often which is testament.

Bump from bottom of page 3. Surprised really this hasnt flown.its cheap enough.

I am listening to mine now.
I removed the plastic body and fitted a wooden one in place. It is superb.

If anybody is looking for a bargain MM cartridge, this is it.
If I had just not bought a Denon DL-103 C1, I would be very tempted to have this as a back up.

I remember you doing that Kevin. I was going to follow your lead myself, and if it doesnt sell i may do still. I like wood around carts. My headshell is wood too

Surprised this hasn't sold Grant, I have an AT12S cartridge with Shibata stylus and it sounds awesome, your AT 95 is very similar. Bargain in my humble opinion.

Thanks Nigel, and yes its surprising no-one is going for this. I guess folk have preconceptions on the mighty 95e and dont realise how good a base cart it actually is.
this it half price or likely better and not been used much

What about the Michell Focus One owner who's asking about a cart at £100 or so?

Or is it wrong compliance for his arm.

No idea, but dont think its what he,d be looking for and its probably just too dear... wants under 100. Its already too cheap tbh. I will just keep it. Its very good so no harm. It was on par with the ortophon imo. Might put a wood case on it actually. 40 notes and it will be even better.
