JICO SETO-HORI REMODEL MC CARTRIDGE 2.0MV OUTPUT
- High-Output Moving Coil (HOMC) cartrdige

Jico's ingenuity and artistry are showcased in the Seto-Hori Remodel  - from the marvelous wooden case to the cartridge and its dramatic headshell. All are fused and make the statement that Jico and Seto-Hori are truly extraordinary in their artistry and execution. Pictures state what musical delight awaits. The Seto-Hori is beautiful externally, internally, and musically.

We can personally attest that the Seto-Hori is the best High Output MC (HOMC) cartridge that we have had the pleasure of testing. It is quite probably the best HOMC cartridge in the world! Quite possibly a contender fot the best MC cartridge in our estimation. A professional reviewer with access to numerous  MC cartridges would have to evaluate the Seto-Hori to ascertain its stature within the firmament of world-class MC cartridges. 

Caveat: The cartridge is pre-installed in a standard half-inch mount type headshell. The total weight is approximately 27.62g. It is imperative that you check the capacity of your tonearm and audio system to accommodate the Seto-Hori before making a purchase. With this caveat, the supplied specifications and very high cost of product manufacture, we cannot accept system incompatibility as a reason for return.

FISHER MT-729 Turntable Replacement Belt
Meredith McFadden (Portland, US)
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
Phillip Pierini (Dumas, US)

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.
