I received the replacement Ion turntable belt and diamond stylus in 10 days after the online order. I chose LP Tunes because it is one of the few suppliers for both of these items, and I have ordered from them in the past. I purchased this stylus as a future replacement for the usual ruby stylus and the belt as a spare to use when needed, so I have not had a chance to try these items yet. I am interested to see whether the diamond stylus handles "skips" in the old records better than the ruby stylus.
Audio Technica’s own production is always well made, but the Jico replacement I got is even better. No messy blobs of cement, perfect alignment, and higher compliance than the original, tracking well at 1.8 grams. Very nice, especially for the asking price.
