The difference is in the Stylus. The VM 95SH uses The incredible Shibata Stylus, allowing more coverage area of the record groove and greater frequency response. More Coverage = More Music.                                  Recommended Tracking Force is 2g. MSRP $299. + HST and Shipping.
Unique Feature: any replacement stylus in the VM series can be used with this cartridge body; from Elliptical, Elliptical Nude, Micro Line or Shibata
