The Special Line Contact, microlinear, and Shibata stylus models have been upgraded with a boron cantilever, while the nude elliptical and elliptical cartridges feature an aluminum cantilever. These materials were carefully selected to keep unwanted vibrations to a minimum and to reduce internal resonances for clearer, more detailed audio reproduction.

JICO SAS stylus replacement for Shure N110HE stylus
Steven Bolash (Port Saint Lucie, US)
JICO SAS Stylus for Shure M110HE

I’ve had several JICO SAS styluses, the first few were replacements for my Shure V15 Type V P mount, which unfortunately took a dump & I could not find a new cartridge of the same type. Went with the current NOS M110HE and was very pleased until recently & though maybe time for a new stylus. Well…what can I say. This stylus has totally brought this cartridge to a whole new level. Wish I could do an A/B comparison between the original stylus & the JICO SAS, but all I can say is I am definitely WOW’d!

Grado Gold 1 Gold1 P-mount T4P Phono Cartridge
bryan creighton (Harriman, US)
all is well. great, actually

i had notified customer service on a weekend, letting them know that i had received what i thought might me a defective product. ( grado gold t4p ). they answered that sunday, and by wednesday they furnished me witha pre-paid return label. they notified me within a week , informing me that indeed, the cartridge was defective and would i like a replacement or a refund. i opted for an exact replacement. a day later, they told me that my version was out of stock and would i like an upgraded grado gold . sure i said, and in three days i received a new cartridge which performs flawlessly. the sound is really exquisite. but, my reason for this long-winde review is to let folks know that lp tunes customer service was second to none. they pais attention, and they treated the customer right. you can't ask for more from a distributor. i would not hesitate to do business with them in the future. highly recommended.
