The AT85EP for T4P mounting is Audio-Technica's best P-mount cartridge

OEM AT Factory Supplied Elliptical Stylus
Protective Stylus Cover
Free Shipping/handling
Optional hardware choices as needed just $1

Optionally we offer our own exclusive screwset to firmly secure your new cartridge to your T4P mount tonearm.

Because this cartridge plugs directly into a rectangular socket at the end of the tonearm, it is known as a "T4P" Pmount cartridge. Other mounting characteristics are that it has no exposed wires in the back and is almost always found on a linear tracking turntable.

Mounting Notes: If your turntable is linear tracking it means the whole tonearm slides several inches from side to side as opposed to the standard type usually designated 'straight' or 'S shaped' which pivots on a stationary 'hub' assembly at the right rear corner of the turntable; this is called a "gimble" mount. A linear tracking turntable will generally have buttons you must operate to move the tonearm and will almost always be found with a Pmount cartridge. This rule like many are made to be broken as some vinyl players such as programmable linear tracking turntables from the 1980s may have a built-in cartridge. As well, there are several dozen turntables in existence that have a standard "gimble" mount tonearm but require a Pmount/T4P cartridge. So, the AT85ep is generally found on linear tracking turntables, but sometimes found on gimble mount tonearms.

Myth: Often people think they must have a brand of cartridge that matches their turntable brand. This is totally unnecessary and often impossible to achieve these days. In fact, the vast majority of turntable manufacturers, had a third party cartridge manufacturer make the cartridge on their behalf. Also cartridge wiring connections usually go straight to your amplifier, receiver or computer thus allowing the turntable to make no direct electrical changes to the cartridge output signal.

Audio Technica AT85EP Pmount T4P Phono Cartridge

As a replacement cartridge I installed to record some new vinyls I received as a gift, the AT85EP perfectly fit my 40+ year-old Technics SL BD-10 turntable. Excellent reproduction of the dynamic range. Was shipped immediately. Great transaction.

Purchased the cartridge cw/stylus and a separate additional stylus for my 30 + year old JVC QL-L2 turntable which restored the original sound on a like new turntable and essentially saved having a new turntable. Turntable Needles most excellent people to interact with.

Audio Technica AT85EP

Decided to replace my 20+ year old Audio Technica stylus and cartridge with a near identical one. The old turntable doesn’t quite get the use that it used to, and at my age I probably can’t hear half the frequencies anyway. But the process was quick and easy and I THINK the old vinyl sounds better, but who knows!

AT85EP Pmount T4P Phono Cartridge

I understand that this is the replacement for the original 95 cartridge. I have a basic turntable where tone arm is non adjustable. There appears to be a tendency for skating/jumping particularly at very loud passages. I also have the original near new 'spherical' cartridge which seem to go alright. The sound reproductive quality for the 85 is real good - just wish I did not have these weight/skating problems.
