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.

Tunes in my house

We inherited an old turntable, which seemed to be useless, couldn’t get any albums to play properly. Decided to try a new needle. I used the free service to help you find the correct choice. It was shipped and packaged very well. And lo and behold we have beautiful music playing. I am beyond happy! And the prompt responses to help with selecting the right one was a pleasant surprise. Great customer service! Thank you

New Life!

I purchased the SAS stylus for a p mount Shure 110HE cartridge for my Technics SL-M3. Before this stylus upgrade the cartridge was lifeless. With the upgrade it sounds amazing! Almost as good as my go to Cartridge which is a Technics EPC-310MC. Amazing quality and quick shipping from LP tunes
