The AT95E may offer a little more focus and refinement, notably in the treble, but I feel that the AT3600L wins in the bass and possibly the midrange. It is impressive for the money but, for me, it lacks the easy-going, charming personality of the AT3600L and is more ‘in your face’. Suitable replacement for the no longer available TESLA systems VM-2101, VM-2102, VM-2103, VM-2202 and VM-2204 and also for Unitra MF-101 (VM2101, VM2102, VM2103, VM2202 and VM2204, MF101).

Anyway I've shown a real world measurement (and it shows a distinct difference that also coincides with the VTF specs of the manufacturer).The Audio Technica AT3600L has been time tested and proven by decades of actual use for quality, durability, cost-effectiveness and fine sound. The elliptical shaped stylus bears greater resemblance to the triangular shaped cutting stylus that is used when cutting master records. The first two have a carbon fibre reinforced ABS plastic cantilever, the last one has a tapered aluminium cantilever. The measurements indicate this is a biradial or hyperelliptical shape (basic line contact), so the name ViVid Line is most likely just marketing on the part of LP Gear.

As thin as a razor blade and machined with ultra precision, the stylus tip ensures unsurpassed fidelity.What wasn't obvious to me, from those first two photos was, is there even a slot in those bodies to accommodate the plastic tab on the stylus. So the difference in tracking performance between 2,5gr VTF and 3,0gr VTF is more than 10µm performance increase. It's been going strong for over four and a half years, with over 7600 posts and over 1 million views. The red grip is the Pfanstiehl; the white stylus that I put in the Pfanstiehl package is the original stylus. Its capability to track grooves optimally brings forth the complex layers of music, rendering a gratifying listening encounter.

This meticulous stylus is emblematic of the brilliance Audio Technica pours into each innovation, making it an uncompromisable choice for superior audio fidelity. The Audio Technica ATN3600L Replacement Stylus for AT3600L stands as an embodiment of precise sound engineering and quality performance. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.After the previous thread met an unfortunate demise, I figured it would be a waste to let all the info just vanish completely.

Tango In The Night by Fleetwood Mac, from the original 1987 Australian DMM pressing of the album of the same name.It is also, in theory, best suited to heavier arms (although it has not been used on one for this review). As the radius of curvature of the sharpened needle tip becomes larger, its ability to track high-frequency signals in the acoustic groove decreases.
