The value for money performance of the AT95E is improved with the line contact shibata stylus which enables complex classical music to be played as successfully as jazz, rock and pop. 

The LP Gear AT95SA phono cartridge elevates the sound quality of the best inexpensive cartridge, the LP Gear AT95E AT-95E, to its pinnacle thus offering the listener astounding musicality captured from the record grooves. The LP Gear AT95SA is designed for audiophile quality listening and for converting records to digital when the intent is to listen to digitized music as you would the original record or LP.

A brand new product developed by LP Gear, the AT95SA AT-95SA phono cartridge is the culmination of over a year's research, development and testing of many styli from various manufacturers. The critical and comparative advantage is the use of a newly reincarnated Shibata diamond mounted on a aluminum tubular cantilever for long playing life and exceptional tracing of record grooves. The result — supreme musical accuracy and faithfulness to the original recording.

Paul Szabady in Stereotimes March 2007 has this to say regarding the LP Gear AT95SA phono cartridge.

"The $30 additional cost of the LP Gear AT95SA and its Shibata stylus gets you more high frequency detail and resolution, without any attendant artificial brightness or edge. High frequencies sound silky and sweet, yet still cast clarifying light on the frequencies below, sharpening timbral acuity and bringing out more detail and nuance of performance. The basic rhythmic skills of the AT95E are not compromised, are, in fact, improved, as the AT95SA sounds even quicker on its feet and is more capable of rendering subtleties of performance technique. The increase in bandwidth and resolution clarifies orchestral instrumental timbre significantly, thus making Classical LP’s as communicative as Rock and Roll albums."

"The AT95SA becomes my reference for inexpensive cartridges."

The LP Gear AT95SA phono cartridge captures the grandeur of music, including its emotion and spirit. We call its performance magical.
