JICO SAS VNSE3HE STYLUS FOR SHURE VST III CARTRIDGE

The SAS VNSE3HE /VN5xMR stylus is specified for the Shure VST III cartridge phono cartridge. The stylus lifts the VST III to its pinnacle of performance and sound quality, much further than the original stylus. The S.A.S. stylus tips are produced using a natural octahedral single-crystal diamond with the most advanced electronic engineering technology. The cantilever is made of special aluminum alloy tube and boron for extremely efficient transmission of vibrations. Rare earth metals with excellent electromagnetic conductivity compose the magnet for the stylus.

1. Compatible with wider and deeper grooves (Micro Groove).
   The diamond tip consists of a meticulously selected natural single-crystal octahedron. Precision work on the crystal allows for a wide range of grooves. The Super Analogue Stylus can safely be used on recent records which tend to have deeper grooves and with 30-280 micron grooves opposed to the simple conventional 30-80 micron.
2. Ultra precision thinness and configuration results in supreme sound reproduction.
   The stylus tip is of optimum height and a uniformly ultra-precision finish. The Super Analogue Stylus has a curvature with a smaller radius that was impossible with the Micro Ridge Stylus. As thin as a razor blade and machined with ultra precision, the stylus tip ensures unsurpassed fidelity.
3. Reduced distortion caused by needle abrasion.
   The Super Analogue Stylus tip eliminates lateral and frontal abrasion. Since the curvature radius does not change, the stylus accurately traces without missing any delicate signals. This makes it perfect for reproducing high frequencies and wide dynamic range which require a highly precise radius for tracking the inner record grooves!
4. Polished finish that virtually preserves your record's grooves.
   World-class polishing technique is used on each stylus. This is designed to preserve the details of the record groove structure for a very long time — virtually for the life of the vinyl.
5. Extreme quality testing with emphasis on performance.
   Stringent quality inspections and tests using unique and high level technology are performed on all materials and at every level — from the manufacture of parts that transmit vibrations to the cartridge (the cantilever, magnet and wire) to the final assembly by skilled artisans.

For those seeking state-of-the-art and world-class excellence, there really is only one choice to elevate the performance of your phono cartridge - a Super Analogue Stylus.
