Recommendation for stylus for Shure V15 type III SuperTrackPlus

The JICO SAS stylus I bought from LP Gear had the same part number and was the same price as ordering from JICO. Shipping was a little cheaper from LP Gear. Where did you get that "information" chakster?

   Thank you for all those words of wisdom - I truly appreciate it. They will help me no doubt.

Never buy anything from LP Gear, they ordered custom styli from Jico and they are not like those original styli JICO can offer on their site for very good price. Always buy directly from JAPAN right from the manufacturer. JICO SAS only (SAS is Super Analog Stylus), cheaper version including LP Gear custom version must be ignored. Jico SAS comes with Ruby or Sapphire cantilevers, earlier version was Boron Rod. The LP Gear i’ve seen before was a strange version with Aluminum cantilever. The original Shure cantilever is Beryllium and it’s totally different from Aluminum.

I’ve seen so many "dead stock styli" from LP Gear that does not even look like the originals, they are always different, some of them comes without manufacturer logo on it like the AT products etc. I wouldn’t buy from them for this reason.

I bought a Shure V15 Type IV with a broken stylus and put a JICO SAS stylus on it.  I've had to play around with loading a bit (it sounded really bright with the recommended settings), but have been really happy with the sound quality.  It doesn't give up much in comparison to my Kiseki Blue and Van Den Hul MC TWO (both of which are about $2K each).  I think I got mine from LP Gear.  You can also buy direct from Jico.
