Replacement Elliptical Stylus Assembly for Linn Basik, K9 & K5 Cartridges (Audio Technica VMN95E)
Available in Black or Green: Black supplied unless you request otherwise
Linn's fabulous K9 Moving Magnet Cartridge of the 80s and '90s was made for them by Audio Technica.
The fact that both Linn Products and Audio Technica are still going strong today is testament to their skills and the quality of their engineering but sadly their relationship ended some time ago and hence the replacement stylus for the K9 has not be available for a similar time.
Until recently, K9 owners had the choice of soldiering on with an increasingly worn stylus (not to be recommended) or fitting the Audio Technica AT95E stylus. This is a low cost (or 'budget') stylus and does a more than adequate job of vinyl replay. However, you would not expect a budget stylus to perform as well as the original which was a nude mounted diamond with a 'Vital' profile. Our 95P Paratrace Stylus (see
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253418592738
) allows users to fit a top quality diamond stylus of the type that graces some of the very finest MC cartridges.
Those other stylus assemblies fit and work really well but look a little odd when in place since the plastic shroud on them is not a perfect cosmetic match for the K9 body.
Now, with the launch of their VM95 range of cartridges, AT are once again producing a stylus assembly that is a snug fit onto the K9 body. See the pictures for a range of K9 cartridges fitted with these stylus assemblies.
These are available in black or green. Black will be supplied unless you request otherwise (subject to availability)
Available in four stylus types:
Elliptical 'E' - This Item
Nude Elliptical 'EN' - See our item:

MicroLinear 'ML' - See our item:

At the end of the day;
the quality of information retrieval from your disks depends very much on the stylus and the more complex and expensive a stylus type you fit, the better your K9 will perform. Please choose the best you can afford and your K9 will repay you.
If you wish to purchase more than one (perhaps an ML for 'listening' and an 'E' for party use) do contact us for an offer. Or if you have any questions at all, we'll be glad to help.
Each Stylus comes with:
New Stylus assembly with retail packaging
A slide-on Stylus Guard
Instructions on fitting to your K9 including removal of old stylus and setting up (this is very straightforward)
Or
Free fitting
