Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a Shibata and an elliptical stylus?
The Shibata has a more refined shape and greater contact area with the groove. It tracks high frequencies more accurately, reduces distortion, and causes less wear than elliptical tips – perfect for serious listeners.

When should I replace my stylus?
After 800–1000 hours of use, or sooner if you notice distortion, skipping, loss of detail, or visible wear. Using a worn stylus can damage your records.

Is this stylus suitable for 78 RPM records?
No – it is designed for microgroove LPs (33⅓ & 45 RPM). 78 RPM records require a special, wider stylus like the AT-VMN70xSP.

Can I use this stylus with other Audio-Technica cartridges?
Yes – it is physically compatible with most VM/VMx cartridges, but works best with the AT-VM750xSH. It is not compatible with mono cartridges.
