THE VESSEL RSM CARTRIDGE
- So much more than just music.

With its hardness and soundspeed, Ruby has far higher sensitivity to stimuli from groove modulations. The refined cylindrical Ruby cantilever in the R3SM discovers and transmits more material from groove modulations, more energy sheltered within record grooves thus conveying more inspired sentience and realism. With its Microline diamond, it offers remarkable radiance and luminosity along with a fast, transparent and natural presentation that immerses you with your music.

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

Unbelievable!

I've had an Audio-Technica AT-PL50 turntable for about 15 years now with the
original "conical" stylus on it that I really hadn't used that much in all that time.
A long time ago, I got into cd's and pretty much stayed there and written off all
the praise about how great vinyl is. On a whim, I decided to upgrade my stylus
to the CFN3600LE. On the FIRST record played with it after installation, I could
not believe what I was hearing. Sounds long buried in vinyl I had never heard
before came to life. I was dumbfounded as to what I have been missing with my
500 + lp collection (many still sealed) all these years. NOW, I realize what
the big deal is about how vinyl sounds and why so many people love it. I'm only
sorry I got rid of so many to replace with cd's. I cannot recommend this stylus
enough. I have re-discovered my vinyl collection and will be buying more. Just
incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And at an affordable price, too.

Resurrecting my old Sony turntable.

The Sony replacement belt fit perfectly. Quick service.
