"An easy, noticeable upgrade"

If you want a big sound upgrade for the smallest investment, this is it. No it's not going to magically sound like a $500+ cart; but, snapping this onto the green 95en cart will give the bass a boost to sound...well downright headbangable (if that's a word). Also it tracks much smoother than the green. Where before when playing Death metal, or even some older metal w/sudden erratic time changes the green would muddy, this did not. So in my opinion an upgrade well worth several hundred bucks, but sold for what my tight ... is willing to shell out.

"Audio Technica ATN95EX"

An exact "snap-in" fit to the AT95E cartridge that came with my AT-LP120-USB turntable. Powered by an 85 wpc 2.0 Yamaha amp this stylus produces very good bass and more detail compared to the stock green needle. I can easily discern the rasp of a snare drum, clasp of a high hat, sizzle of a cymbal, and jingle-jangle of a tambourine while being struck simultaneously. A real nice upgrade without emptying your wallet.

This is the second one I have purchased! Wow the sound has blowed me away! My good friend who use to own a music shop said it's only vinyl I don't care how much you pay for a stylus there is only so much sound you can get from a vinyl record! He has a Crutchfield music hall mmf-3.3 turntable that $800 dollars & a Ortofon 2m bronze mm phono stylus $430 dollars! He say the only reason he has this stylus because it fits his turntable! I have a $400 turntable with this atn95ex stylus! He said I don't care if the stylus is made of pure gold your still playing it on just vinyl! The absolute physics is it can only produce so much sound! He said this stylus plays as well & sound as good as his Ortofon stylus! Companies will never say vinyl in reality can only produce so much sound only that the stylus will fit the groves on you vinyl so much better & the material like 2m bronze will give you so much of a outstanding sound! Yes it's a good stylus but it's only vinyl your playing it on! Maybe if they come up with something different than vinyl that's designed to fit different styles! Then maybe it will sound better but scientifically it's just vinyl & can only do so much as far as sound Quality! He's 68 & retired & made a lot of money selling expensive stylus! He say when you need a 3rd stylus stick with this atn95ex it sounds outstanding no need for a $500 stylus better Companies tell you it amazing! It only vinyl!
