Groovy Picture

In commemoration of the Grammys.

This photo shows a colorized scanning electron microscope image of a phonograph needle in the groove of a vinyl record. The texture inscribed along the walls of the spiral groove replicates the soundwaves as they were recorded.

I just purchased a Jico S.A.S stylus direct from Jico and had them ship it from Japan to me here in USA. Much cheaper than buying from any dealer here! This was for a Shure M91e on my old Dual 1019 table and so far it is eye popping good and nowhere near broken in yet. For anybody even thinking of trying a Jico S.A.S just go direct via their excellent website.

All reviews says it takes 40 hours or so to lose its initial brightness and for mid and bass to bloom. Just starting to hear some of that on last album I played.

As I said I bought mine direct from Jico. Never bothered to really look at their spec, I assumed it was the same. I also have the $33 one and an EVG one. ... Lol. Good job.
