SAS/R (Ruby) REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE VN5MR VN-5MR VN 5MR STYLUS

The Jico SAS/R (Ruby) replacement for the Shure VN5MR stylus elevates the cartridge to its pinnacle performance and sound quality. The SAS tips are produced using a natural octahedral single-crystal diamond with the most advanced electronic engineering technology. The SAS/R replaces the previous SAS boron cantilever with a tapered ruby cantilever. A single strand of ultra-fine piano wire is attached to the cantilever to stabilize the movement of the magnet and reduce distortion from resonance. Rare earth metals with excellent electromagnetic conductivity compose the magnet for the stylus. 

SAS Stylus Line Contact Stylus Elliptical Stylus Conical Stylus
  1. Compatible with wider and deeper grooves (Micro Groove).
  2. 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.
  3. Ultra precision thinness and configuration results in supreme sound reproduction.
  4. 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.
  5. Reduced distortion caused by needle abrasion.
  6. 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!
  7. Polished finish that virtually preserves your record's grooves.
  8. 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.
  9. Extreme quality testing with emphasis on performance.
  10. 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.

JICO SAS/R replacement Shure VN5MR (HG) stylus

Thank You Jico for making this stylus! This with the ShureVN5 MR cartridge is the best sound quality of anything on the market today.

Best replacement for original that I know of

Remarkable. I keep my original MR stylus in the box, and use this exclusively. Very clean, precise highs although I feel it has slightly rolled off bass compared to the sapphire cantilever version. Still breaking it in, so that may change. 100% would buy again.

Replacement needle

Bought the ruby SAS to replace the one already installed on my Dual 1229 turntable. I’ve been using the SAS line for awhile and I am very pleased with the ruby version for the clarity and detail during all music playback.

Better sound

Thanks Lptunes, in my opinion this stylus is more musical than the genuine one. More spatially clearer, higher and middle tones richer.

Dual TK14 Cartridge Sled

A simple part, however having bought one off the Bay which had incorrect leads, this one actually does the job on my 2 12xx series tables.

Stylus for Mitsubishi X-10 is fantastic

I recently purchased a replacement stylus for my Mitsubishi X 10 turntable. I’ve been looking a suitable replacement for some time and found it difficult to find a good quality option.. the folks at LP tunes were very helpful in providing me suggestions as to the best option available to match the OEM performance of the original cartridge. The replacement they provided was amazing. It provided excellent audio quality and is very similar to the OEM cartridge.
