Sources and interpretation limits

Sources and limits

Source facts reviewed 4 October 2026. Support is limited to the declared AT-VM95E body and AT-VMN95E installed stylus; it is not a cartridge compatibility database.

• Audio-Technica AT-VM95E specifications — vertical tracking force 1.8–2.2 g, standard 2.0 g; the user must separately confirm the actually installed AT-VMN95E stylus.
• AT-LP120XUSB manual, printed page 7 — model-specific tracking-force setup. Turning only the numbered ring does not change the physical force; no universal adjustment direction is inferred here.
• Riverstone record-level gauge guidance and Ortofon DS-3 guidance — measurement conditions matter. These sources do not establish the accuracy or calibration of your particular gauge.
• AT-VMN95SP specifications — an example of a replacement with a different range. This stylus is deliberately unsupported by this tool.

What this worksheet does not establish

The supplied numbers and five setup declarations are not physically verified. A range comparison cannot establish calibration, actual force, safety, diagnosis or playback quality. The report offers no counterweight, anti-skate or repair adjustment.

The specified range applies only to the declared AT-VM95E body and installed AT-VMN95E. A replacement stylus, unknown identity or non-gram unit receives no range comparison. Unconfirmed setup permits descriptive observations only.

Manufacturer names identify the exact supported equipment and linked sources, not an affiliation or endorsement. The explanation and report code are original; this page does not rehost manufacturer manuals, product photographs or logos. Sources remain on the manufacturers’ websites.
