The Spirit of JICO Styli

Posted by LP Tunes on

Have you ever wondered how JICO creates their styli? This video shows you how intricate it is to make each and every stylus. 

Each stylus is handmade. There are different employees to assemble the tip, cantilever, rubber damper, and knob. A lot of styli may have a simple design on the outside, but they have complex internal structures.

Each stylus goes through a complete inspection of all components before it's shipped out. They test each individual stylus to make sure sound signals are faithfully reproduced using an oscilloscope and with their ears.

JICO takes pride in having the skills to produce an exceptional product!

Stylus for Empire TC-40 TC40 cartridge

Empire S44E Stylus

I will admit to being somewhat disappointed when I opened the box and found a plain black stylus instead of the cool looking see-through candy colored stylus pictured. I understand that they covered themselves with the "color of the stylus varies" statement, but I guess I assumed it would be an actual color, rather than black. Aesthetics aside, delivery was on time, actually sooner than I expected, it was well packaged, and sounds great, so the important things were on the money. I deducted 1 star for the color thing--maybe that's being picky, but it's how I feel. But as I said, service, delivery, and product quality were on point.

Ordered new turntable stylus

The correct stylus was sent and it arrived very quickly.

Hello, I have a 1969 Gerrard SL95-B turntable wood base which I can stack 5 LP's. This needle replacement SHURE N-75EJ/ 2. What I enjoy about this needle it does not bend, after the tone arm is on top of 5 records the needle keeps it's position and doesn't bend . The quality sound is great. I have spent alot of money on other needles that the sound isn't clean and wears out very fast. I play my music records daily for hours.

It was easy to install and sounds great!
