Review: I got myself a Technics, knowing the virtues and shortcoming of the package I decided to go for the ATXP5 going after the fancy fibre glass housing and the higher output internals, hoping for a better result than the ATVM95E. I also bought a Shibata stylus from the VM series, so I expected to leave the original stylus in the drawer. Surprise, surprise. Yes the Shibata is more detailed and "better" but on the Technics it shows a very mild lack of midrange (very Technics issue, nothing unexpected). However the original ATXP5 stylus just rocks, I trade a bit of bass and yes it obviously rolls off the treble at some point but on this turntable works, giving a sweet end result, lots of detail and an expansive stereo image, I have thrown my worse albums at it and it just laughs at them, I cannot just thank the Technics for it, this cartridge was really tuned for DJ turntables. I am really impressed and now I don't know if will ever buy the not DJ elliptical. I used a head shell of 9.5 g and that gave me around 14Hz of oscillation with a test album, hence compliance seems to be low, around 9 CU @ 10Hz, I added a pair of screws to take it between 12/13 Hz. I recommend to use a heavier head shell than Technics. Also I changed the original phono cables of my turntables for a low capacitance pair to make sure total capacitance was just under 200pf, my phono is a Cambridge Duo. Note 1: As I got myself the full cartridge I should add that its compatibility with the VM95 series is just perfect, I had to lower the Amp input level as this cartridge is loud but the results with a VM95SH stylus was seamless, I bought also an XTP3 stylus for old and mono records and again no issues. Hence this cartridge does open you several upgrade or even downgrade paths. Update: XTP5 and XTP3 needle: I should add that if you want to understand how they sound, they are both a more refined (meaning a tad clearer) but somehow similar sound to the older brother at3500/Rega carbon which is still available as the best entry level cartridge. I bought an at3600 catrtidge in order to use my old needles, both Turntableneedles.com upgrades for AT3600 body, elliptical and Hiperelliptical for a Sony PSHX-500, in despite the similarity one can hear that you have not hit the diminishing returns here. I recommend the ATXP5 for users needing 3 grams styluses or coming from the at3600/Rega carbon who want to be able to have and elliptical upgrade. ATXP5 body + ATVM95SH needle: It took me several adjustments and there some more until I finally made the fancy Shibata needle perform, that included using my old Achromat on the new turnable, it sounds very neutral, but that means an extended bass and treble hence be careful if your system tends to brightness as it is common in the UK. Stereo was slightly wider than the original XP5 stylus and rock solid, comparison to the cheaper brother AT3600 with micro linear stylus and elliptical seem to subjectively confirm than the PPS housing improves performance, it just has a better imaging and a cleaner sound. The "Off Label" combination performs enough to make any upgrade up on the Audio-Technica ladder (VM series I mean) unlikely for me, in despite the theoretical better numbers of that family. So far this is my Hi-FI pick up of choice. Hope this helps you. Updated: I have changed the Head shell to an AT of 15 g and resonance was just 11 Hz that means as much as I like the cartridge, the ATXP5 has a very low compliance of 9 or even 8 cu @ 10 Hz. which you need to take in consideration for the Technics turntable.

Quelle changement par rapport à mon ancienne cellule d'origine. Je ne suis pas mélomane mais cela enchante mes oreilles et je redécouvre mes disques sous un autres jour.
