I am very impressed with the uplift across the board with the AT95EX stylus compared to the E in the AT95E. There is a lot more body to the music and a smoother fuller sound especially noticeable on vocals. Sometimes the AT95E could sound a bit spitty but the AT95EX all but eliminates this aspect. The AT95E has a thinner tonal quality which highlights the top end at the expense of the midrange.

Although I am using this cartridge on a humble Garrard Sp25 Mk4 I may well evaluate it on my VPI rig just to get a complete picture of the abilities of the AT95EX. I am seriously pondering The AT-VM95ML as an everyday runner to save wearing out my 2M Black FGS too quickly so will report back when this happens.

Should be an interesting exercise.
