Shure V15 Type V - JICO options

Posted by flood2 (A) on May 1, 2015 at 19:14:49

Hi

I just bought a V15 Type V body off ebay which comes without stylus...
I notice that JICO have two options for the VN5MR, the "ordinary" replacement at USD150 quotes a "microridge" tip, and of course the SAS variant which is labelled "high grade type".
Has anyone bought the 'ordinary' one? Is it ACTUALLY a microridge tip, in which case, what is the difference between the two given that the SAS tip is well known to be virtually identical if not IDENTICAL to the microline and I was of the understanding that the microridge was just another name for the microline....

There's only USD17 difference between the two and the pictures look remarkably similar!
Thanks!
