Best known as replacement stylus supplier for 50years
now jico has made a cartridge , picked one up at launch in munich & for a 1st attempt they hit the ball out of the park , probably far too cheap for this forum & change from the normal $5000+ new designs
think stone body koetsu for peanuts Fitted to a 301 & 12inch Ikeda arm

had a long chat with the designer & they wanted to bring different technology to the market
they produce alum , boron , sapphire , ruby & diamond cantilevers & next will be Cubic Zirconia ( swarovski.) & new stylus profiles like there SAS ( super analogue stylus )

CERAMIC & WALNUT BODY
MICRO-RIDGE LINE CONTACT STYLUS
BORON CANTILEVER
