By far the best after-market stylus available for this legendary Shure cartridge. In my opinion it sounds every bit as good as the original Micro- Ridge from back in the day.
Another exceptional product from Jico.
I damaged my original V15 III stylus while dusting. Instead of getting a cheap replacement, I had a little extra money so I decided to splurge on the SAS. The sound was SO improved it prompted me to re-cap my 1970's Pioneer receiver, then the crossovers in my Klipsch speakers. It was so good, I built a tube phono preamp from a kit. It sounds AMAZING, but no I have no more "extra" cash (and my wife is angry that I'm spending more time in my basement listening room than with her.) And it's all because of this terrific little stylus.
This was a very worthwhile purchase. Not only is the sound more defined than the original Shure stylus but the SAS also tracks better. Highly recommended.
Believe the hype around the SAS stylus with a Shure V15 type3. Smooth detailed sound, accurate without being boring. Also seems to play worn records well, less noise than my Audio Technica with stock stylus. A was using a EVG stylus before the Jico SAS. The Jico SAS stylus was an amazing improvement.
The SAS stylus is a significant upgrade for the Shure V15 type III cartridge. The SAS extends the high frequency and also tightens up the bass. It is not a small improvement....it is HUGE!!!
Highly recommended!
I live in Australia and have purchased several styli for my cartridges over the last few years.
Including the Jico SAS VN35
They are a superb buy and I've never had a problem with postage.
Items have always arrived promptly and well packed.
Thanks Jico
I finally found a replacement for my original Shure VN35MR stylus. This is even better than the original and at a better price. Tracking is as confident as the original in my SME 3009 arm and the sound on all the LPs I have tried has been outstanding: no trace of hardness in the treble response and great depth to the bass.
Jico gave me precise dates for delivery and kept me up to date with e mails. Their service was excellent: I can heartily recommend them.
What a great stylus...Records play quieter, less crackles and pops. Don't know how this is achieved but it is....
Less distortion, more of a sound stage, I can hear instruments I couldn't hear before. Voices are clear, can't recommend this stylus highly enough.
Compared to Ed Saunders: Ed 5 out of 10. Jico 10 out of ten.
I waited four weeks for this stylus to be delivered believe me it was well worth the wait. Brilliant.
Very good Stylus for my Shure V15-III. The Shure is playing awesome with this needle now. In reference to a review before: at high magnification you can see the special cut very well.
Sound good but under a microscope its nothing like the illustration, or an original Shure (I have one where the stylus is perfect, but loose in the shank). Also a HUGE dollop of glue is used to hold the diamond in the shank. If this could be reduced, or a push fit used then the stylus would be a lot better
Awesome stylus!! I highly recommend these SAS stylus to anyone with vintage cartridges.
