Hi. I received the Shure V15 II on a turntable from a friend. As I had no experience with this cartridge and it was at no cost to me, I decided to buy the JICO upgrade for it. So glad I did. From my hearing it competes with the Goldring 1042that I have. Maybe a bit below my Nagaoka MP500 and also my Audio Technica AT150 MLX. But for a $200 investment, hands down the best value for dollar I've made.
This is the best purchase I have made for this cartridge. This stylus brings out all the sounds across the range of instruments. Excellent with rock and classical music. Will be back to buy another in the future
This SAS stylus had a very different construction from the original SHURE V15 Type II stylus. Especially with the cantilever extremely slim, you have a sense that you are getting something different.
The moment you start playing vinyl with this stylus, you instantly know that this is a tough one to beat. The bass improves significantly, the highs are less squeaky and sharp and a better separation of instruments overall.
Very satisfied and would highly recommend SHURE V15 Type II owners to try.
