Nut-Free Installation The VM95 Series cartridges simplify installation by incorporating two M2.6 threaded inserts, eliminating the need for nuts when mounting the cartridge onto a tonearm or removable headshell.

Each cartridge comes with a pair of 8mm M2.6 screws, a pair of 11mm M2.6 screws, and two plastic washers for your convenience. VM95 Series - Stylus Compatibility Over time, every cartridge diamond stylus wears down with use. Typically, this occurs after around 500 hours for a conical stylus, 300 hours for an elliptical stylus, 1000 hours for a Microlinear stylus, and 800 hours for a Shibata stylus.

However, our VM95 Series dual-moving magnet cartridges are designed to last almost indefinitely by allowing you to replace the interchangeable stylus. You no longer need to buy a whole new cartridge when the diamond wears out; simply purchase the matching replacement stylus. Moreover, you have the option to upgrade your cartridge with a different stylus to enhance your listening experience.

All six models within the VM95 Series cartridges share the same electromagnetic engine body, making each of the six replacement styli fully compatible.
