"Music-pleasure–wise, Audio-Technica's VM95C was the most satisfying cartridge in this survey.
It shifted my perspective and made me reconsider what I thought I knew about phonography. 1
"Spherical/conical-tipped cartridges emphasize "musical content" with force and vigor. And
simplification. By eliminating some amounts of complex low-level spatial, atmospheric, and
harmonic information, conical tips seem to expose the raw, beating core of humans playing music.
That's why I love them." 2
