I did a bit of research on various forums and decided that the VM95ML was an ideal choice, so I ordered one. I had to order some smaller screws separately and the bonus of those was that they were Phillips and therefore a lot easier to use. I’ve replaced the Monitor Audio Bronze 2 speakers in my second system with ATC SCM7s which are a considerable improvement, sounding both more detailed and more natural, but these have not embarrassed either of the cartridges in use in this system (although they have embarrassed some of the CDs in my collection), in fact the 95EN sounds more noticeably better than the 95E through them than it sounded through the (more forgiving) Bronze 2s. I then changed from the Bias 2 to an Audio Technica AT VM95e.

And it always comes to this cartridge. I’ve read a bit about there being synergy between Rega tone arms and cartridges but, pace Rega’s propaganda, this is synergy. It offers audible improvements over the Elys 2 in all respects (though personally I don’t think the Elys 2 is a bad cartridge). Sound wise there is definitely an improvement on the old Shure cart.

In the sense that a giraffe is three times taller than a gazelle, probably not, but in the sense that “would you notice the difference every time you played it and is that a good difference”’ then the answer is yes. For those of a certain age, in the words of Tony the tiger “They’re great!

The P1 has an exceptionally engaging sound which, if it isn’t exactly 100% hifi like the P3, is definitely 100% fun. I can also see the end of the needle better which makes cueing tracks a cinch.

The stylus on my old Shure cart on my Thorens TD150 mk2 needed replacing. That is according to Audio Technica. For most of this year I had the 95E set up on that turntable and the Carbon on the P1 (hence the above observations). However, I did notice that the 95E had some difficulty consistently tracking demanding records which became an increasing niggle for me.
