Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Shures V15III, M95ED, M91ED, M97xe, V15IV, and V15V.

JICO SAS in the V15s and the M97xe, JICO (allegedly) HE in the M95, LP gear and EVG styli in the Type III, M95, and M91.
Right now, the SAS styli are down to just under $200, that would be my recommendation for your V15V xMR. Just be aware that it won't sound the same as it does now, or as it did when the stylus was new. You might like it more or you might not like it at all.
The SAS styli were a lot more expensive about a year, year and a half ago, closer to $300, in which case I wouldn't recommend one at all.
The longest use of an SAS here was in the V15III. Wore one out, bought a second. Ultimately, it was too bright for my ears.
The AT VM540ML is, at least in my opinion in my system, superior to any of the V15/SAS combos I've used and it's $250. When the stylus wears out, you can get another one from AT and the cart will sound like it did when it was new.



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
