EVG Styli

Pfanstiehl unless repackaged originals garbage. NOT CALIBRATION STANDARD, will never be. Only worthy replacement for Stanton 681 from any non Stanton-Pickering source is from Expert Stylus retips, which equal or better OEM originals from NY.
 
Just cracked open an EVG replacement for an Azden YM-p20e last night, 245-DE (also used in Empire versions of the azden carts).

I've owned a number of EVG replacements before but the cantilever on this is VERY fine. From photos I would wager it is even thinner in diameter than the original stylus!

Still listening to it but first impressions are solid!
 
About a week ago I ordered and have received a stylus from Stereoneedleslady (Carole's Needles) off that auction site. Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but it does have a dark blue or black dot halfway up the stylus and her web site states this:

"Stereo stylus, EV, Electro-Voice, 764-DE, replaces: Shure VN-35E, VN35E. Used in Shure V-15 Type III, V15, Type III cartridges. Tip: Elliptical diamond, .3 x .7 mil. Tracking force: 1-1/4 grams. This is a Jico stylus. Speeds: 16, 33 & 45 RPM. New great quality."

Wonder if anyone really knows...I for one sure don't.

I have one of those, and I absolutely love the sound it makes. All evidence I've seen indicates that it is a JICO, and at the price she charges I can have one to use and a spare.

And what is all this nonsense?:
"Early in 2007 Ed was approached by a larger corporation who wanted to purchase the Ed Saunders name and company. Although Ed initially, flatly refused, he ultimately agreed to sell a 50% stake in the successful, International business he had single handedly built from the ground up. The resulting partnership was a train wreck. By January 1, 2010, not only had Ed suffered a tremendous financial loss, his spirit was broken. I changed that. I was no expert! I only owned two records and they hung on my wall as decorations. Ed is an expert, though, with knowledge that spans decades in the recorded music industry. I guess you could say I am the muscle and Ed is the brain. Together we have kept the tradition alive."

You didn't get the rest of the story, which has been told here at Audiokarma. Ed Saunders and Trish (the woman who wrote the above story) parted ways. Ed set her up with his carefully-chosen suppliers and taught her as much as he could, but he has now left the company that bears his name.
