[Product Appeal]

- Recommended for those who pursue the rich musical expression unique to analog records, this product was developed as a high-performance replacement stylus compatible with the Pioneer `PC-330/II` cartridge. By adopting JICO’s proprietary `SAS` (Super Analog Stylus) technology and a sapphire cantilever, it brings out every last detail of the musical information etched into the record.

- JICO’s `SAS` series is distinguished by its use of a special stylus shape unlike conventional conical or elliptical styli. By achieving line contact with the record groove, it improves tracing performance while reducing friction, reproducing a natural, well-balanced sound from the high frequencies to the low frequencies. It delicately renders fine nuances, ambient atmosphere, and even the lingering resonance of instruments, giving your favorite records a new appeal.

- In addition, this product uses a sapphire cantilever. Sapphire is known as a material with high rigidity and offers superior vibration transmission performance compared with an aluminum cantilever. As a result, vocal contours become clearer, and the positioning of each instrument as well as the sound image is reproduced more distinctly. You can enjoy a transparent, highly resolved sound reminiscent of high-resolution audio sources.

- The `SAS` tip also uses carefully selected diamond. Because it is designed in a shape close to the cutting stylus used when producing records, it traces deep into the groove with precision and faithfully reads even the subtle information that conventional replacement styli could not fully reproduce. It delivers excellent playback performance across a wide range of genres, from delicate classical music and jazz to rock and pop.

- It also offers excellent durability, with a typical lifespan of about 500 hours, making it a long-life design. It helps maintain stable sound quality over an extended period, achieving both a strong commitment to audio quality and low running costs. The recommended tracking force is 1.0 to 1.5 g, and with proper setup, you can maximize its original performance.

- This product is compatible with the Pioneer `PC-330/II` cartridge and can be used with players such as the `PL-A500`, `PL-A500S`, `XL-1550`, `XL-1551`, `XL-A700`, `XL-A700S`, `Project 9`, `Project 900`, and `Project X9`. By confirming compatibility before replacement, you can upgrade your trusted record player to a higher-quality playback environment.

[Summary]

This product is a high-grade replacement stylus that combines JICO’s original `SAS` tip with a high-rigidity sapphire cantilever. With outstanding tracing performance and high fidelity, it brings out every detail engraved in the record, realistically reproducing vocal transparency, instrument texture, and the expansiveness of the soundstage. It also features a long-life design for excellent durability, making it a high-quality replacement stylus recommended not only for those who value sound quality, but also for anyone who wants to enjoy a cherished record collection more deeply.
