Will you be the first amongst us to try one and let us know how it sounds?

Could be the cure for the common M97xe...

I have a new neo SAS(s) and new vividline. I will have to wait till I need another one for now. It's only money though. Right?

Just for the Shures?

Seen Technics, and Denon too.

This is fantastic news! I hope they will eventually expand the lineup.

Limited run of 100 each? Okay, it’s a small sliver of a small market but that seems very low.

Zirconia - SAS

We never did get the SAS for the Shure M75 only the Shure M91 boron SAS.

Now my wife wants a Zirconia Shibata for her Shure M75 HE cartridge.

There was a note at the bottom of the JICO site that said:...
JICO Super Analog Stylus Series (SAS tip + Boron, Sapphire or Ruby cantilever) will be back soon. Please wait a little while more.

Interesting. Given the low tracking force these are probably best suited to lower-mass arms, I'd imagine.

Those look interesting but Jico’s dire warning about how fragile Zirconia is gives me pause. Anyone else?

I take those warning seriously.

Will be as careful as I possibly can when I get one.

Despite the warning, some one will damage their boron, Zirconia, ruby, and aluminum cantilever within 48 hours of receiving theirs.

Just wait.......

And I just bought one of the older style for $199 It will be interesting to hear what others say about this though.

Awesome! I have a V15 Type V-MR cartridge with no stylus. This may be exactly what I'm looking for. Please post a review once you've had a chance to get some hours on it. Do you have an original VN5MR for comparison?

 

[JP]

Ya, I’ve a handful of NOS VN5MR and an VNSE5MR. It’ll be next weekend as I’m back in the city for the week.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing what you think of the Zirconia SAS compared to the originals. My V15 Type V-MR came on a table I bought. but was missing the stylus. So, it's sitting unused. I picked up another table with a low mass arm last Sunday (a Harman Kardan T60), that should be a good match for the V15 Type V-MR. I just need a stylus for it.
