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.

Replacement for Kenwood N-67BL N67BL stylus
Ricardo Kamenetzky (Atlanta, US)
Good experience with LP Tunes

I needed a replacement for a Kenwood N-67BL stylus. Other store websites were offering replacement styluses, but it was not clear if they were replacements for a N-67BL. The LP Tunes item was clearly labeled for what it is intended to do, and it fits perfectly. I want to also comment on the great customer service by LP TUNES in how they handled a return and exchange, for a separate purchase.
