There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have a 1978 Japan made Technics SL-220. It has the 1200 style "S" arm so it's compatible with the nifty Technics overhang gauge. After some research I read time and time again the recommendation for this cartridge and the great match it was for my turntable in terms of compliance and such.
Set it with the gauge in my technics headshell and I haven't touched it since because it is without fault to be modest.
I have no distortion inner groove or otherwise. Right now I have a TC750 preamp going into a Yamaha RX-V377 a/v receiver and feeding Energy RC Micro 5.1 speakers (Canadian sister company to Klipsch).
So modest equipment that has served me very well for movies and music through my Yamaha CD player. My turntable with this cart blows the CDP-S300 away with a decent pressing. The words I've heard to describe the AT95e do not really do it justice. It's great, and PHENOMINAL for the price. Everything sounds natural and very musical and not at all fatiguing.
I have 50 hours on it at this point. I would say that it was great from the first minutes of use and did noticeably improve up to about 25 hours and then tapered off from there. I'd say at 30 hours you have it pretty well broken in.
I plan to purchase the LP Gear AT-95SE stylus in the future as I hear great things about that upgrade. But honestly, this is adequate with the stock stylus for my application and I'd say most people's as well. It's a fantastic cartridge for all types of rock and metal I've tried so far.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This AT95E is my best under $100 cartridge that has worked for me. Sounded wonderful right from the start. Normally I'll play 50 or more hours for the cartridge/stylus to settle in, but this AT95E sounds very nice from the 1st LP.
I set it up using a Baerwald protractor, set the tracking force per recommendations using a digital gauge and it has tracked very well and sounds better than I expected since. I have approximately 25 hours play so far, several of my older less than excellent condition LPs, and the AT95E played better than a handful of other under $100 carts in my system on this turntable. Then do this for less than than $50 on a Miracord with its arm mass - very nice..
When I wear this one down, I'll have no 2nd thoughts replacing it with another AT95E.
I find the more $$ a cartridge is not always the best. My other main turntable, I have carts from just a little over $100 to over $1500 and my two favorite carts are one just over $100 and two others $500, so if you think you might be missing a lot because the AT95E is so affordable, you might get more than one would think. There are a lot of variables in systems and ones desires, and this AT95E fills one of my needs within my system.
Great bargain, good tracking, respectable specs for a cart at the price point I give it 5 stars for a under $50 cartridge. What's not to like on the AT95E. The reviews for a less than $50 cartridges, I had to give it a try and I'm glad I did.
I also got the AT-120E (for another turntable), and these AT cartridges give a lot for the $$. Sure you could go to higher end cartridges, but those that want an affordable cart and needs a turntable to play once in awhile and don't want to put a lot into it, this cart should be considered.
Shipping from AV-House - arrived sooner than I had expected. A nice bargain always makes my day.
Best $40 I've spent!

Una volta montata, vi confesso che sono rimasto colpito dalla chiarezza e dalla pienezza del suono.
Aggiungo solo che, pochi giorni fa, parlando con un musicista professionista ed esperto conoscitore di audio, gli ho detto (con un po' di timore, data la sua esperienza) che avevo fatto questo acquisto e che ne ero rimasto molto soddisfatto; lui mi ha confermato che è un'ottima cartuccia, dal rapporto qualità-prezzo davvero conveniente.
