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.

FISHER MT-729 Turntable Replacement Belt

Belt

Hi guys, I’m sure this belt is just great. I actually need help getting the turntable to turn still. Is there a way that I can be on a phone call or even FaceTime to explain and show what’s going on with this Older turntable with any of your staff?

Good price for the stylus. Arrived quickly and easily. Will be ordering from them again!!

Stylus for Realistic System 1210 turntable

Perfect fit, timely delivery, would order from them again

Great cartridge!

The solid low end was a surprise! I generally feel 2 gram tracking force is a bit high but am going with it as specified. I do a lot of LP to digital conversions and this cartridge tracks well on older worn LPs with little inner grove distortion. I did do a realignment as the cartridge/headshell as received was a bit off. The sound is unremarkable which is to say neutral which is a pleasant change from cartridges I’ve used in the past! Overall a great performer especially at this price point. Definitely recommended!

Exactly as described

Part was identical to the worn out original. Had the new one installed in 10 seconds.

Good sounding

A warm, balanced good sounding stylus for the money. Give it a little break in time for best sound.

Excellent Stylus

After I listened to a few records that had playback issues I had to adjust the anti-skate,rebalance the tonearm and adjust the tracking force. I've played back several records with no issues. The sound from this stylus is great you can tell the difference when you hear the upper,lower and mid frequencies.

Sounds fantastic

I upgraded a basic needle to this on my old automatic Technics SL-QD22. Sounds very very good. This is my first time upgrading a needle so I only have the basic needles I have used before as a comparison. Very happy with my purchase.
