SUPER ANALOGUE STYLUS REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE VN5xMR VN-5xMR VN 5xMR STYLUS

The neoSAS/S replacement for the Shure VN5xMR 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 neoSAS/S replaces the previous SAS boron cantilever with a crystalline sapphire cantilever.  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.

tight fit

I am well passed the age of acute hearing so I can't write the kind of detailed aural reports I have read. The record sounded fine to me. Considering the cost of the item, I was pretty worried trying to get it to install in the cartridge. It was a tight fit and required more pressure than I was comfortable with. I had the Shure original so I knew and could see how it slips in. I like the color of the Shure original better than the black. There is no comment about adjusting the tracking force for the brush. I assume that means it is unlike the Shure brush which applies a 0.5 gram lift.?

Exceeded my expectations

I replaced my the Shure needle which had served well beyond its years. The Shure needle NOS for sale elsewhere is insanely overpriced. I only recently learned of JICO. As soon as switched over to the new JICO needle - the improvements were HUGE. The range and detail of the sound is so much better. Noise is so much less. I have owned a fair number of cartridges, but I feel the Shure V15VxMR is still one of the best sounding cartridges ever made, but I had forgotten how great it could sound until I heard it with the JICO. An enthusiastic 5 stars.

JICO replacement Empire S2000E/III stylus
Michael Watsonw (Wilson, US)
New life for a classic cartridge

I really enjoy listening to albums with my Empire S2000E/III and this new JICO stylus. It gives me another experience from my normal Ortofon 2m blue cartridge. I get a better upper range definition and slightly less bass with the Empire/JICO setup, and a perfect alternative cartridge for my budget stereo!

Good job

A different brand of stylus cartridge was on my record player, which I discovered when I bought the record player brand of replacement needle, and it didn't fit. I sent photos, and they were able to identify the correct stylus. It works!

Replacement for Sears 91827 stylus
Brent Shoemaker (Arlington, US)
Exactly what I needed for my 70’s record player

Perfect fit - thanks

Excellent product

Have tried the replacements from the uk and all were sub standard. This one however coming in from America is a different matter. Sound quality is fantastic what a difference from British products. One drawback was delivery charges.
