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.

Audio-Technica AT95E Phono Cartridge

Treasured turntable

Thank you LP Tunes, I now have my ancient treasure back in play. All it took to restore my ancient treasure was a cartridge with the stylus. LP Tunes for ever.

Absolute bargain for the upgrade. Used on Rega Carbon which is now a definite keeper

great business experience

arrived in time, and good product, exactly want i needed.

That critical little part

Ordered a new tonearm belt for a Technics SL D-333 to replace a crunchy original. $14 for a tiny belt seems like a lot but when that's what you need to resurrect a classic turntable you pay it. The belt is correct and high quality so Im very happy with ourchase.

An unusual purchase... but good!

So, I ordered two JICO ATN-11G styli from LP Tunes. What I received was two ATN-11E styli. And I received them from LP Gear, not LP Tunes. 😵‍💫 Anyway, the styli I received seem to be maybe slightly higher up on the quality scale than the styli I ordered. The ones I got have a .6 mil stylus sted of .7 mil. What difference this makes is impossible for me to tell. All I know is they sound very good and I got them for a slightly discounted price. So... my only suggestion would be for LP Tunes and LP Gear to roll everything into a single website and try to keep track more closely of their inventory. Actually, even with the confusing websites, LP Tunes/Gear is a great resource for us vinyl folks these days.

This is really really good and the best upgrade for the atlp60x

N97HE JICO stylus replacement for Shure M97HE cartridge
Thomas LaMantia (Carolina Beach, US)
JICO N97HE...every bit as good as original Shure for M97HE

Just received my JICO N97HE from LP Tunes. I plan to use it for both my Shure
M97HE and M97HE-AH cartridges. Upon first listen the JICO tracked perfectly
@ 1.25g, brush up position. Highs were crisp and clear but never shrill. Midrange is full but with a warm quality, like the original Shure. Lows are tight
and very satisfying. Separation and imaging are outstanding. This is not a JICO
SAS, but I'm pretty happy with my purchase, and it's not even broken in yet.
Thanks again LP Tunes.
