JICO SETO-HORI MC CERAMIC PHONO CARTRIDGE

The SETO-HORI MC ceramic cartridge is hand-crafted in Japan with artful expertise to achieve optimized fidelity. The micro-ridge diamond's polyhedral shape reaches into the deepest recesses of the record groove to retrieve details previously inaccessible to other styli. This shape extends the lifespan of the stylus by reducing diamond and record wear. The boron cantilever provides a low mass and extreme efficiency of transmissions and vibrations. The base connected to the ceramic SETO-HORI cartridge is made of natural walnut wood.

“Kata-Tori” (mold making) and “Yaki-ire” (burning) are key processes for ceramic-ware. One of the problems with ceramic is shrinkage, which is why it has been said ceramic-ware is not suitable for cartridge bodies. JICO collaborated with a laboratory in the city Seto to study the shrinkage of ceramic pottery. The result is in the final process, JICO craftsmen finely adjust the ceramic body thus creating the one of a kind SETO-HORI cartridge.

Excellent Cartridge!

This cartridge looks awesome!
I installed it with ease. Alignment may be a bit of a challenge as the front end of the cartridge is oval, but not a too big issue.
Crucial is the adjustment of your gain and load on your phonostage. This cartridge has a high output and significant high-end. If you listen to rock music or electronic music, this will shine! however, classical music, especially piano, is not well reproduced and saturates if you keep the gain and load at their highest settings. Low gain and load and the sound is muffled. So don't be afraid to tune up patiently and precisely with those settings, and this cartridge will highly rewards you!.
I think that this cartridge requires more hours to break in and to perform at its best, but already now i can hear how precise and clear it sounds compared to my previous Ortofon MC red Quintet. Definitely an upgrade.
Highly recommended

JICO SAS Stylus for Shure M110HE

I’ve had several JICO SAS styluses, the first few were replacements for my Shure V15 Type V P mount, which unfortunately took a dump & I could not find a new cartridge of the same type. Went with the current NOS M110HE and was very pleased until recently & though maybe time for a new stylus. Well…what can I say. This stylus has totally brought this cartridge to a whole new level. Wish I could do an A/B comparison between the original stylus & the JICO SAS, but all I can say is I am definitely WOW’d!

Very satisfied

It fixed every problem I had with it

all is well. great, actually

i had notified customer service on a weekend, letting them know that i had received what i thought might me a defective product. ( grado gold t4p ). they answered that sunday, and by wednesday they furnished me witha pre-paid return label. they notified me within a week , informing me that indeed, the cartridge was defective and would i like a replacement or a refund. i opted for an exact replacement. a day later, they told me that my version was out of stock and would i like an upgraded grado gold . sure i said, and in three days i received a new cartridge which performs flawlessly. the sound is really exquisite. but, my reason for this long-winde review is to let folks know that lp tunes customer service was second to none. they pais attention, and they treated the customer right. you can't ask for more from a distributor. i would not hesitate to do business with them in the future. highly recommended.

Replacement fit nicely on cartridge,sounds great
