JICO SAS ZIRCONIA REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE VN45HE STYLUS 
- Sounds astonishingly original and real - beyond all imitation

In the process of developing the "SETO-HORI" ceramic cartridge, which was launched in 2018, JICO found that material hardness is an important factor in determining sound quality. Jico researched for the applicable material and finally decided on Zirconia. Since the mass of zirconia is larger than that of other materials often used as cantilevers, such as boron, Jico first reduced the mass by processing the cantilever into a hollow pipe shape. Moreover, Jico succeeded in suppressing split resonance and reducing the effective mass as seen from the tip of the stylus by covering the joint pipe to the middle of the surface of the cantilever. This covering also makes the cantilever close to a tapered shape which is ideal.

As a result, Jico ultimately created the clear and precise sound, that was totally different from the preceding other cantilevers’ lineup (aluminum, boron, sapphire, and ruby). This was the sound Jico was seeking. Given the scarcity of cantilever material, this stylus is destined for very limited production. Please take this opportunity to enjoy.

Replacement Jico stylus for Shure V15

Very fast shipping. Product was well packaged. The Jico stylus really is a huge upgrade for an older cartridge. Sounds incredible. Thanks LP Tunes.

Jico got it right with zirconia

This is the best sounding stylus I ever had on my Shure V15-IV. Rich natural lows, smooth mids and crisp highs and impressive stage. It does not have the sibilance issues that my Jico SAS/s has. It took one LP play to break in and for the bottom to open up. I set the VTF to 1.45 grams with the brush up ( this should yield approximately 1.25 grams with the brush down). I listen with the brush down.
Jico got it right with this stylus.
I am very pleased.

J
Stylus for Pickering V-15/ATE-3 cartridge
James Whitaker (Honolulu, US)
The exact right stylus

I needed a stylus for a vintage Pickering. Perfect fit, great performance. Yeah for durable goods!

Had the needle for my 35yr old phonograph. Amazing thank you.

Sounds great, with a caveat...

As the title suggests, this stylus sounds very good. But it is lacking in the very highest registers (tinkling sleighbells, watch chimes, etc). Until it is inserted into a 66 series or one of its many clones, then that upper register comes alive. Empire made 2000s with at least 2 different electrical specs, those around 500 ohms impedance, and those around 1000 ohms. The 1000 ohms models suffer high treble loss, while the lower inductance/impedance models do not.

Ortofon Dual DN150E stylus

ORTOFON DUAL DN-150E STYLUS

search for genuine ORTOFON replacement easy, order/payment a breeze, shipped quick and arrived on time. went with a genuine ORTOFON for my vintage dual changer . Just acquired a beautiful restored yamaha cr-1020 receiver; system sounded like crap so I rewired the speakers (stacked large advents). big improvement but then the highs were thin scratchy and poorly defined, hence the new stylus. now it's starting to really sound like something. i'll give you a detailed review of the stylus after I've listened to more of the records. they all sound different now.

So far so good

Just got it and it sounds really nice.

Mom’s old cartridge is alive!!

I wanted to restore my mom’s old Shure RXT-4 (Radio Shack version of the M97ED) and this stylus is just perfect!! I never imagined how beautiful this cartridge with this stylus could sound! Warm mellow melodies for Jazz and Classical! Very well balanced!! Love it! I pair it with my Technics SL-1200Mk2 and SL-D2

very satisified

received the belt fairly quickly and it fit great and the turntable works great now.....thank you very much
