Once you have a stylus as advanced as the JICO SAS (or Neo-SAS) you will have to adjust the VTA so that it is actually optimized for you new stylus. That type of adjustment is a rough approximation. If you are one of those who adjust VTA by making the tonearm parallel with the LP surface.forget it. Your experience with the brightness of the JICO SAS stylus sounds like you had the VTA adjusted incorrectly. I also generally prefer warmth over intense detail and brightness.ĭoes anyone have experience with both of these styli that can opine on whether they sound the same or different? My Sota/SME combo seems to be darker and deeper than I remember my Thorens being, so perhaps it will be less bright. I had it on a Thorens TD-316 and found the combo quite bright, bright enough to where I found it unpleasing. My one hesitancy - I had a V15 iii with Jico SAS a couple years back. I tend to sometimes not be as careful as I should be. I'm inclined to buy the original boron SAS, largely because it sounds more rugged than the sapphire. I can purchase either of the above styli for just under $200 new. Its thickness 16mm (5/8”) resists flexing at low frequencies whilst high frequency resonance is attenuated by efficient extensional damping.Hanfrac wrote:I recently purchased a Shure V15 iv body to install on my Sota Sapphire/SME 3009 S2 Improved (very lightweight arm). For example, the same weight of metal spread over a large enough area would be aluminium foil! The sub-chassis measures only 440mm (17 5/16”) by 350mm (13 ¾”) but weighs 11Kg (24lb). Model 20/3 weighs approximately 28.6Kg (63lb), significant in relation to its size because it is density that matters. The higher the mass and stiffness of a body the less it will flex and vibrate the duration of a vibration can be shortened by suitable damping. In the Model 20/3, superb instrument quality machining is allied with fundamental physics. These emanate from numerous sources including air and structural vibration from loudspeakers, groove modulation, stray electrical fields and mechanical imperfections in moving parts. Massive construction, extensional damping of major surfaces and lack of vibration from moving parts ensures exceptional detail, resolution and uncoloured performance.Ī turntable should address the problems of extraneous vibrations. This finely engineered precision turntable is built to the same exacting standard and incorporates many design features originated for the Model 20/12.
