Hi All,
Looking at options for a stylus upgrade for the Shure V15 Type V. I'm currently running the EVG/Pfanstiel replacement stylus from a V15 Type IV as recommended by the voice of music site as the available alternative.
I do see upgrades are the Jico SAS models and the Vividline stylus on LPGear.
Have seen plenty of opinions on the new (neo) and original SAS models, but none on the vividline, so hoping someone will chime in here. I've heard that these are made by Jico, but the key difference is that a suspension/tension wire is not used in the vividline? Assuming this is closer to the original design, so interested in any opinions and experiences.
I have a V15 III as well, so experience from any of the V15 and similar Shure variants (or any cart!) and vividline is welcome.
Thanks!
Sam
