JICO stylus on a Shure IV Mk 2

I have a Thorens TD166II on my second system. Bought it on Ebay for $400 with a Shure IV Type II cartridge. Just mounted a new JICO SAS stylus on it. For a first listen, it sounds very good. Good to see somebody supporting old carts with quality styli.

 

Love Jico and what they are doing. Have bought many of their V-15 series SAS styli. They never disappoint.

 

I have 2 V15 III's equipped with the Jico SAS......no going backwards now. Will soon pick one up for my M95ED.

 

What was the Shure IV Type II? I'm not familiar with that one. Did you mean the V-15 Type II? JICO SAS styli are great. They're really the only way to go for a lot of old Shure cartridges now. Even if you do find a new-old-stock Shure stylus, there's a good chance the suspension has already or is in the process of drying up.

 

Yeah. What I meant.
