This Jico N97xE stylus was a worthy replacement for a worn stylus on my RXT5 cartridge. It is mounted on an LAB-500 turntable, into a Harman Kardon 730 Twin, playing through all original Micro Acoustics FRM-1AX speakers. The separation, the transients, the clarity, it is all just incredible. This is the best this system as ever sounded. This is classic vintage audio at its best! Kudos to the customer support team who recommended this stylus. I could not be happier!
I was refurbishing my childhood turntable and LP tubes was the only distributor that seemed to carry the appropriate drive belt. After installing it and lubricating several components, my records are playing at perfect BPM again. Works just like it did new in 2004!
I wasn't sure if my SHURE V15-typell cartridge was still in good condition and I decided to go to LP TUNE for a stylus replacement to test it. LP TUNE is reputable, always has what I'm in need of, has fast reliable service, and always at the best reasonable prices. So, I got the VN-15E, and YES the cartridge is still in great shape! Next, the SAS-B, and of course, from LP TUNE.
