    You want to get that GL75 down from there Brian, they're a really nice deck. The AT cartridge should be a decent match.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Yes I believe they are manufactured by AT in Japan although I don’t think they share the same internals with the 95, the script on the box says “designed in the UK built in Japan”

    The AT95e works well on the GL75 Lenco Brian as I have tried it.

    The reviews are all very positive however it is twice the price of the AT95E. The Goldring E3 is a huge cartridge but looks an Interesting alternative to something like the Ortofon 2M Red.

    Why consider an AT95 when you could have the new VM95E or VM95EN ?

    As I understand it, the Goldring E3 and it's siblings are AT internals with an extra outer shell, which makes them more expensive than the equivalent AT.

    If you hunt round the E3 can be got for less money, I bought mine from Juno for £67.99 delivered, although they now have it priced at £77.99. I had 2 different 2M Reds, factory fitted to 2 Project turntables I had and I didn’t like either and sold them on smartly, rather coarse sounding especially inner grooves. According to the AT website the 95EX has been discontinued but no doubt you’ll still be able to get it for quite a while.

    I have the 95ex which came with my AT LP5 tt. The cart was designed specifically for this tt/arm I do believe so might work well with other low-medium mass J shape tonearms.

    I have to say it's leagues ahead of the standard 95 which is itself great value for money. For the price point I can't recommend the 95ex highly enough. It's a cart for putting hours on because its cheap and most importantly sounds superb.

    I also have an ATLP5, although the AT95EX was designed to go with it, it surprised me that the arm tilted downwards from pivot to stylus with the stylus in the record groove, I corrected this by using a 3mm shim between the cartridge and headshell, the mod improved the treble clarity noticeably, I use the same shim with the Goldring E3 that’s currently installed on it.

    I notice that the AT95ex and Goldring E3 stylus have exactly the same specification and as the Goldring maybe built by AT they are probably both using the same stylus? They use a super elliptical stylus measuring 0.3 x 0.7 ml.
