The 'ML' (for Micro Linear) is the fourth and penultimate level up in the Audio Technica AT-VM95 range.
Micro Linear cut styli and other Micro Line profiles are prised for their long life, their excellent tracking (especially at the end of side) and great information retrieval. They also to be quite forgiving of most surface noise too,
The diamond is a Nude design - whereas lesser 'bonded' styli us a small diamond tip bonded to an intermediary shank (often made of steel) which is then attached to the cantilever, a 'Nude' model uses a much larger (and sadly much more expensive) diamond tip to dispense with the intermediary spacer. This provides much improved mechanical coupling between the tips and the cantilever and reduced tip mass resulting in all areas of the performance being improved.
Thanks to the removable stylus assembly you can fit styli from other models in the VMN95 range to downgrade or upgrade the performance or even to play 78 rpm records on it (on a suitable turntable naturally).
