JICO appoints LP TUNES as exclusive distributor for the Americas

JICO, the world-class manufacturer of high quality stylus replacements, has chosen LP TUNES as the exclusive distributor for the Americas. LP TUNES with its parent Starbrands Networks, LLC have had a long business relationship with JICO. The exclusive distribution agreement was formally signed on October 26, 2017 and is aimed at expanding the availability of JICO styli in the Americas.

JICO, an acronym of Nippon Precision Jewel Industry Co. Ltd., is unique in their vertical integration which enables them to achieve supreme quality. They are able to engineer and manufacture styli from beginning to end including: stylus body molding, cantilever fabrication, diamond tip bonding, suspensions, & coil winding to quality control testing and listening to each stylus. JICO styli have the deserved reputation for peerless production and sound quality. 

JICO brand styli and cartridges will be available in the US, Canada, Mexico and the rest of the Americas. Recently there have been sellers claiming to sell JICO styli. JICO styli are sold only in JICO packaged casing. Beware of fakes, old, and used styli being sold as new JICO styli.

We are currently looking for dealers for Canada and South America. Please contact us at info@lptunes.com if you are interested in becoming a dealer.

LP Tunes replacement ATN-3472CE stylus
Shao-Cheng Lin (Lake Charles, US)
Nice Alternative

Thanks for suggesting an alternative record player needle. It works great. Don’t know where else we would have looked.

Stylus for Signet TK-7LCa TK7LCa cartridge
Very impressed! (Saint Joseph, US)
Incredible sound

Replaced my original signet stylus with this. Right out of the box, it sounded amazing. Not as bright as the original but substantially better bass. Tracks perfectly and has a well balanced sound. The price is incredibly good for this caliber styli!

Great replacement stylus!

I ordered the basic replacement stylus for my Shure M91ED cartridge. It sounds excellent! This company and its folks are knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with, so you can inquire about what you need with ease. I am very curious to know what the upgrades sound like now, and will order one soon, but I am very happy with this stylus.

Stylus for Shure V15 cartridge
Kenneth Jones (New Orleans, US)

Fantastic stylus for vintage Shure V15 sound

Amazing sound!

I installed this on a failing at-12sa cart. This cart was a remarkable vintage of its time. I was skeptical about replacing the famed shibatta with a vivid line. Let me say the LP Tunes replacement is amazing! It pulls remarkable detail from the LP’s. I personally prefer this to the original. Excellent value for the price!

Great store!

Fast shipping and had a hard to find stylus. Thank you! If only you had the missing dust cover to my BSR xl 1400 ...id be thrilled!!!

The little stylus that could..and then some!

When I got this I thought I had overspent and had just paid 150 bucks for the 70 dollar model with a stylus guard. I was hoping for the best, expecting mehh, and got the closest to sonic nirvana I've yet to experience! I am simply a music lover, I haven't the experience or the budget to be an audiophile , but wow this little cartridge can sing! I have the carbon fidelity, the nss divine, this is noticeably better even to my untrained ears. If you are using the at3600 cartridge, strongly consider this stylus before you change to a different cartridge. It really is that good!
