I have a Shure V15 Type VxMR and have been very happy with the Jico SAS stylus
What stylus do Shure V15 users prefer?
I have two V15's in my collection of cartridges, V15 III and V15 IV. Both came with microridge stylus. The III is likely worn out and the IV arrived with broken cantilever. I bought some Pfansteils to try as cheap replacements. I also bought a JICO. All have been VN35E with the exception of the one for the IV, which is a VN45E as it was all I could find. I have not found any MR's. I have not tried any of them yet either, just haven't gotten around to it. The JICO ad said that it was a microridge stylus even though designated VN35E, which normally means eliptical. In the fine print, it also says expected to last 150 hours. Really? 150? That would suck. I did ask the seller about these claims and get no response. Just wondering what anyone thinks about the confusion and terrible life expectancy of a JICO. Thanks
