Compared to the aforementioned cartridge, I noticed more powerful and grown-up sound, bass which is more taut and impactful, the increased amount of detail and the more pleasant sounding treble.

Still Rocks and this Audio-Technica VM95E really improved some of my vintage playback.
My Older Albums play much better, upgraded from a AT-311Ep.
Slight upgrade in fidelity so far, only 12 hours in.

First, this thing is so easy to install. The captive screws should be a feature for all cartridges. Newbies to cartridge installation need not fear. The sound is absolutely incredible for how inexpensive it is. I've owned many cartridges in the several hundreds of dollars range, and I honestly don't miss them. It may not be the last word in minuscule details, but it makes any kind of music an absolute joy to listen to. It isn't overly bright or bassy, everything sounds smooth and natural. It gets out of the way of the music. Tracking is excellent for an elliptical, but obviously improvements can be made as you upgrade the stylus. Only the very longest sides give the elliptical tip any trouble at the inner grooves, but it's not egregious. I've owned more expensive MC cartridges that couldn't track this well.
All in all, I think AT hit it out of the park with this series. Their carts are always the best bang for buck, and this might be their best value yet. I think you'd have to spend a lot more money to beat it.
