Tracking on decent recordings/pressings is good, delivering a relatively clean sound, but there are tracking issues with ‘hot’ pressings resulting in a rather scrappy midrange/lower-treble, with sibilance on vocals not handled well.

After acquiring a new elliptical stylus for the AT95E I decided to conduct a more extensive technical and listening evaluation. Thanks for this review, I was considering both of these, but with Ortofon currently going for up to 3/4 of the AT part cost this was a no brainer decision, based on your evaluation and files.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Treble: The treble is actually relatively restrained – definitely reined in from the AT95E and lacking the sparkle of the latter.As for inner groove distortion, you have to understand something -- I'm speaking strictly of the AT95E with its "fat elliptical" tip. Personally I would either get the VMH95e and then you can upgrade to the ML stylus later or just jump straight in for the VMH95ML. Comparando una buena edición de un vinilo de jazz con el cd, he notado un leve aumento en altas frecuencias y una casi imperceptible disminución de bajas frecuencias en el sonido de esta cápsula. Its upper frequency response is actually much better than the Shure M97xE at 47 k in this respect where spectrum analysis definitely shows an upper treble roll off!
