I have ordered this stylus as an upgrade for my AT95XE cart. Wondering if anyone else here is using the same?

PS
Should be with me tomorrow, can't wait.

I have a Shibata on an AT95. It is very good.

Had a shibata profile on mine. Was a good cart, better than it aught to be

I have an AT95 in an aluminum body, I wouldn't fancy paying £140 for a stylus when I would have to trim the plastic part of the stylus to fit as I have with the original.

The new Audio Technica VM95 ML is £149 and not only has a Micro Line stylus but an improved body and coil structure over the old AT95. All for £9 more than the Paratrace stylus.

I have not seen any reviews on that one yet, also means swapping out the Cart. Mine comes highly recommended for me.

This thing just keeps giving, quite shocked at just how good it sounds on my system and only took one minute of my time to achieve something a bit special.:stalks:

I have one too. 300 hours on it. Mine is in a Linn K9 body. Audio Origami RB300. What VTF are you using?

You got yourself a decent price on the paratrace. They are £205 on eBay.

Yes Simon mentioned that the price has had to go up with the new stock, but honored the price I had seen.:)
