SUPER ANALOGUE STYLUS REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE 6X / REALISTIC R6X NEEDLE STYLUS

The JICO SAS stylus replacement for the Shure 6X NDC-ED needle stylus. It is used with Shure R25EC, R25ED, R25EDT, R25XT, R47EB, R47EDT, R47XT, R1000ED, ME95ED cartridges and their private label models. The stylus elevates the above cartridges to their pinnacle performance and sound quality. The SAS tips are produced using a natural octahedral single-crystal diamond with the most advanced electronic engineering technology. The cantilever is made of special aluminum alloy tube and boron for extremely efficient transmission of vibrations. Rare earth metals with excellent electromagnetic conductivity compose the magnet for the stylus.

  1. Compatible with wider and deeper grooves (Micro Groove).
    The diamond tip consists of a meticulously selected natural single-crystal octahedron. Precision work on the crystal allows for a wide range of grooves. The Super Analogue Stylus can safely be used on recent records which tend to have deeper grooves and with 30-280 micron grooves opposed to the simple conventional 30-80 micron.
  2. Ultra precision thinness and configuration results in supreme sound reproduction.
    The stylus tip is of optimum height and a uniformly ultra-precision finish. The Super Analogue Stylus has a curvature with a smaller radius that was impossible with the Micro Ridge Stylus. As thin as a razor blade and machined with ultra precision, the stylus tip ensures unsurpassed fidelity.
  3. Reduced distortion caused by needle abrasion.
    The Super Analogue Stylus tip eliminates lateral and frontal abrasion. Since the curvature radius does not change, the stylus accurately traces without missing any delicate signals. This makes it perfect for reproducing high frequencies and wide dynamic range which require a highly precise radius for tracking the inner record grooves!
  4. Polished finish that virtually preserves your record's grooves.
    World-class polishing technique is used on each stylus. This is designed to preserve the details of the record groove structure for a very long time virtually for the life of the vinyl.
  5. Extreme quality testing with emphasis on performance.
    Stringent quality inspections and tests using unique and high level technology are performed on all materials and at every level from the manufacture of parts that transmit vibrations to the cartridge (the cantilever, magnet and wire) to the final assembly by skilled artisans.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do, and does it well

I was looking for a turntable to transfer a couple hundred vinyl records to digital format. Since whatever setup I used for the transfer would be how I heard all those LPs from now to forever, it seemed to make sense to avoid cheaping out. OTOH, it's not worth it to me to spend thousands of dollars on an esoteric audiophile turntable. We already have a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo turntable in the living area with the stereo, but I didn't want to commandeer that unit for transfer purchases,. That unit wins all the awards for "best under $1000 setup", but I'd need an external phono preamp and A/D converter, pushing the total cost to over $1k. The AT-LP120XUSB is less expensive and includes everything needed to connect to the PC, so it was an attractive option.

After reading a bunch of reviews of various turntables, I came to the conclusion that I was overthinking it and just went with this model. This turns out to be the right choice for my purposes. Once I had it set up I compared it directly with the Pro-ject unit, and the differences were subtle, if there were any audible differences at all. It works, it sounds good, and seems quite durable.

PROS:
o Setup is straightforward, since the TT, tonearm, headshell, cartridge, and stylus were all engineered together.
o The included stock AT-VM95E cartridge/stylus is well regarded and allows for an easy upgrade if you want a better stylus.
o Solidly built in the tradition of the Technics 1200 that it is modeled after.
o Professional quality internal phono preamp and A/D converter.
o Sounds basically identical to a unit twice the price
o Does basically everything it's supposed to do, and does it well.
o Since it's a DJ turntable, it should hold a good resale value - once I'm done digitizing the records I have I'm probably done with it so I might sell it at that point.

CONS:
o If you try to use both the USB and analog line out simultaneously there's a prominent high pitched whine - the engineers did not adequately isolate the two from ground loops - while this is a disappointment to me, there are easy work-arounds and few people are going to connect both.
o It's fully manual, so perhaps not the best choice if you just want to play records.
o If you have a receiver with a phono preamp, you don't need the internal one or the A/D converter so you'll be paying for things you don't use
o Your audiophile buddies will not be impressed.

Was a great replacement works perfectly

Fantastic deal

Great Service and worth the wait. A great store for your HiFi needs. I highly recommend this store to everyone.

Record player up and running

There are so many different needles out there - would have been easy to make a mistake and buy the wrong one. But the LP Tune website made it clear which one worked with my Denon, it came quickly, and my record player is working again after a week. Great experience.

Thanks for taking the time to find the right needle for my record player.
