## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Audio-Technica VMN50SH Replacement Stylus
*by A***R on 15 April 2025*

This is my second so it must be good. Not cheap but they do last a while. This on has played approximately 500 LPs to date. (a late review) Really clear and detailed sound. That fact is a good thing but if your LP is a bit dodgy the stylus will show it. When this is worn out I may try a different one in the range. A few to choose from all fitting the same cartridge. By the way, the picture is accurate, it is brown, not black as stated.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice upgrade
*by A***L on 14 March 2023*

Nice upgrade compared to the stock Exact cartridge that was on my Rega P6. Easy enough to self fit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent upgrade
*by G***Y on 28 December 2022*

Started off with AT vmn30en & initially got the vnm40ml as an upgrade. While I found it much more detailed it was a bit too bright on some albums. The vmn50sh I find has all that increase in detail (if not more) but without any of that brightness. The bass is strong tight & well defined with excellent mid & upper ends. Expensive but definitely worth it
