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!

LP Tunes stylus for Signet TK-3E TK3E cartridge

Stylus for TK-3E Cartridge for old Yamaha Turntable

LP Tunes was awesome to work with. I had an old Yamaha Turntable that hadn't been working for 15 or more years. I did a bunch of research and came to the conclusion that if I could get a new stylus for my cartridge, that would be the way to go. I emailed LT Tunes with the details and they emailed back in less than a day with the part I needed. I pulled the trigger and ordered it. Just this past Saturday, I put it together and now it works and sounds great! I must have spun 40 of my old albums over this past weekend and it was so much fun to hear them all and listen to actual albums again, start to finish. Thanks LP Tunes!

Perfect Fit

Amazing!

This needle sounds amazing, and elevates my turntables sound so much! It is like night and day! Highly recommend!

Kuzma round belt

Belt fits and works perfectly.

Great quality for price

I am very pleased with this replacement stylus for the Denon DL-60 which came pre-installed on my Denon DP-45F turntable. The stylus was delivered quickly and in great shape. The cantiliever was straight as it should be. The sound is great. I would not hesitate to buy this again from LP Tunes.

Stylus for Pickering V-15/AME-2 cartridge

Sylus

The stylus worked fine. At first I didn't think it was good as it didn't look any different than the stylus I was replacing but the new one functioned excellent.

This belt worked perfect after getting it on, which wasnt too hard. Ive had the record player for 6 years now and it still works great to this day.

Bought replacement belt for linear tracking turntable. Got it quickly and it worked great. Now I can listen to vinyl again.
