[kambo_z]

Can anyone please recommend me a stylus for the Technics EPC-270C Cartridge. Thanks in advance.....

Never had the 270, but I used a standard Jico and then a Jico SAS on my 205.

I am happy with the standard Jico spherical on mine. Very good cartridge imo.

Mantra Audio sell NOS Technics styli for this cartridge.

Nagaoka makes both spherical and elliptical styli for this cartridge.

Would be interested to hear what you think of the nag or jico if you buy one I have a spare 270 which came with a Technics deck would be worth trying.

Not sure i buy the bit about .01g vtf differences but this article mentions the jico and nag auctions

Here are some options from thakker. It is often worth asking them where their styluses are sourced as some of their Technics made in Japan stylii are made by jico.

I used to get all my Styli from Will Thacker. I got a 'EPC-270' already fitted to some cheap Techy 'SL-20' Belt drive in a package i bought years ago.. I did swap the cart out for a JVC 'Z1'
