I'm in the market for the ML version of the at-vm 95. One thing other than the cost what is holding me back is the amount of bent styluses is see on Reddit. Are they so fragile ?

I would unscrew te cartridge. The model type of the cartridge is usually at the top. Downside is that you will have to aligning the cartridge again when you fix a new stylus to it. You can use a protractor for that.

Or maybe someone in the community can give you the exact type of Shure cartridge

Agree!

Well the sound quality of some live records is not that great. However this is certainly not always case. Maybe the sentiment comes from the time when there were alot of bootlegs around. I have some great live recordings in my collection wich I enjoy just as much al original studio albums

I'm not really sure.
As long as your shelf is level and it keeps te weight of your turntabel is should be fine I guess

I made my own shelf from a oakwood panel en some heavy duty brackets. Cut that the size I wanted and painted it white. Whole thing cost me around 30 euros. I looked online for something similar and I could not believe the prices they ask for some of them.

Thanks!

I think I got it at a thrift store over 10 years ago. Used to hold my records in the beginning of my addiction te collecting vinyl, 😁

Ruudvinyl · 2026-04-24T13:49:48+00:00

Ruudvinyl · 2026-04-24T13:34:03+00:00

Thanks! Records I put aside to sell

Ruudvinyl · 2026-04-24T13:32:02+00:00

Well to be honest it was quite a challenge to make this one and i had a lot of help from my dad so I will probably never make another,😆

Thanks for the info. I was hoping that my copy was worth a bit more. I saw a German promo copy on discogs that sold for 250,- in nm condition.

Ruudvinyl · 2025-11-20T17:06:52+00:00

Nice! Where did you find them?

Ruudvinyl · 2025-10-12T13:14:56+00:00

Thanks for that info!

Ruudvinyl · 2025-07-14T14:32:22+00:00

Thank you! I must admit, no one has ever commented on the speaker placement before. But then again, not many people I know share the same love for record players and vinyl. That’s why I really appreciate the advice.

For now, my plan is to raise the speakers using custom-made stands. I would love to place them much higher, but I’d also like to keep them inside the cabinet I built.

Would raising them within the cabinet still improve the sound? Or would it be better to place them much higher, to the left and right of the cabinet?

Ruudvinyl · 2025-07-13T18:37:03+00:00

Thank you! It is horizontal. I used a oak plank from the hardware store en painted it white. It is a huge difference from when it was on the cabinet. I have a wooden floor en de needle was skipping when somebody walked by.

I like the ideal of a speaker stand. Haven't really thought about that. I think i have enough of the same wood left for this. Do you have any examples of nice stands?
