Replaced the stock Shure stylus with this, and after a short break in period, I’m very happy with the sound. Not a cheap upgrade, considering an Ortofon 2M Blue cart and stylus is about the same price, but was curious to see how it improved the Shure cart.
Absolutely terrific upgrade for the Shure M97xe cartridge! The stock Shure cartridge is good, but is clearly rolled off on the high frequencies. The JICO SAS corrects that problem and transforms the M97 into a truly magical, high end cartridge comparable to other cartridges costing over $500. Highly recommended!! Buy It!!
