Nagaoka handshaker12/15/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Be aware that, with the finer profile of a MicroLine, you'll need to ensure that your records are very clean (otherwise the stylus will dig dirt from the bottom of the grooves, leading to higher surface noise, distortion and premature wear of the stylus). I personally think that you'll enjoy more the VM95ML than the MP-110, especially if your records' inner tracks have loud or complex passages and if you wish to get a clean presentation free of distortion. Just be aware that, to reach a 'VM95ML' trac(k)ing ability, you'd need to be much higher in the Nagaoka range. The MP-110 (and all Nagaoka cartridges) have some treble recession under typical loading, and if your like a warmer presentation, with less treble and more midrange-centric, the presentation of the MP-110 might be more your cup of tea. The direct competitor of the MP-110 in the AT VM95 lineup would be the VM95E instead, which runs for a significantly lower price tag. ![]() Nagaoka cartridges are quite overpriced nowadays, and AT has always been their opposite in the sense of being quite the 'bang-for-the-buck'. The MicroLine tip lasts longer than the plain elliptical of the MP-110 at their respective tracking forces, and has a very small 'equivalent scanning radius', which provides accurate reproduction of loud and high frequency material. The VM95ML will have a more trebly presentation than the MP110 and will deal significantly better with complex passages (e.g., female vocals, massed instruments, etc.) on inner grooves due to its stylus shape. ![]()
