The Jico SAS takes the performance of the original VN5MR (US & Mexico) for the SHURE ULTRA 500 to a higher level. Furthermore, it does not change f.r nor balance, simply adds information in all frequencies. Another evidence that Japanese take very seriously High Fidelity, and for reasonable price when bought directly from Japan.
Stylus replacement for Shure V-15 v MR
Hi All, I have two Shure V-15vMR cartridges that, like many, need new stylus. Question is: send in to Soundsmith for a re-tip and if so where is the "sweet spot" value wise of their three levels of service? Know each level provides a better end product but enough to justify the expense? Any opinions?
Also, any opinions on the Saunders replacement stylus that is now being marketed at very reasonable price ($79) Is this close enough in sound given the substantial savings?
Lastly, is the V-15 reputation more myth than material. I know it is a very good cartridge, but is it better to just invest the same amount of money into another make/model?
Any opinions greatly appreciated before I decide on a path to take in bringing these back to life.
