STYLUS INSPECTOR LOUPE

Gemologist quality loupe by Belomo with all metal housing and triplet glass optics for a bright, clear and close-up view of critical stylus parts especially diamond tip, cantilever tube and bushing. The Belomo loupe features an aplanatic and achromatic triple lens system (corrected for linear and color distortion). 10X and 21mm focal width for ease of use. This superlative quality loupe is made in Belarus by BELOMO, the acronym for Belarus Optiko Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie (Belarus Optical & Mechanical Association). A joint venture with optics maker Zeiss was begun in 1995. The firm produces lenses and optical elements for microscopes and other optical equipment with ISO 9001 certification. The Belomo loupe is considered by some as one of the finest loupes available—comparable in quality and performance to such exalted names as Bausch & Lomb, Zeiss, Nikon, Kaya and Schneider.

How to use the Stylus Inspector Loupe
A loupe is designed to be used in a well-lighted location. Bring the Stylus Inspector Loupe up to your eye as close as is comfortable against your eyelashes (or near your eyegalsses) but without touching your eye. Be sure to keep both eyes open. It is natural to want to close the other eye but eventually it leads to eye strain more quickly than keeping both eyes open. Keep the gem loupe stationary. Bring the stylus in to the loupe to focus.

Slowly move the stylus back and forth until it comes into focus and maximum clarity. Because the loupe has very strong magnification, the focal range or aperture is very narrow. Slightly move the stone back and forth and turn it around to get different areas of the stylus into focus for examination.

Note: 10X is the standard for diamond and gemstone grading. We do not recommend higher than 10X magnification. It is difficult to focus. More importantly, it would require the user to bring the stylus very close to the lens and this could lead the end-user to accidentally hit and bend the cantilever.

Better than I thought

This JICO nude elliptical stylus is super good. I replaced the stylus on my Shure M44-7 which is more of a DJ cartridge and I didn't care much for a conical/spherical one that was on it. Everyone I talked to about a change recommended the N55 for it. It was a little pricey, and usually I'll buy a new cartridge instead of chance something I'm not familiar with, but I bit the bullet and ordered the N55 from the recommendations. To my surprise, it's one of the better sounding carts I have and that's saying a lot as I use Grado and Ortofon both in MM, and a Denon MC cart. Even not broken in, I was really impressed with it. So much so, I may resurrect my on M99E that's on one of my Dual's with a Jico nude stylus. This JICO stylus I bought is on my vintage Pioneer PL 518.

Belt fits perfect

ViVid Line replacement for Shure m97xe cartridge

The stylus is amazing. The original stylus needed some adjustments. It was a bit harsh in the mid to higher. The new ViVid Line is awesome. No need to EQ needed. Everything pops out and doesn't cause fatigue. Nice lows, mids, and highs. If you what to replace/ update you Shure m97xe, this is it. Maybe a bit pricey but well worth it.

Perfect replacement

This replacement stylus has the same dimensions as the original, and fit perfectly. My vinyl records sounds wonderful now.

It's The Correct Belt.

Not much to say. The Previous belt became brittle and snapped, and I'm sure this one will too, one day. But for now, It's exactly what my record player needed.
