    Default Jico Neo-SAS styli - how to buy them?

    Hi all,

    Absolute noob here, but I have a legit question:
    How does one get his hands on a new Neo-Sas stylus made by Jico? Their English website seems to say that they don't trade those anymore or doesn't offer them there.
    However, on their Japanese website you can find Neo-Sas versions of most of their styli for other brands, such as the Victor Z3E that I was looking for:

    https://shop.jico.co.jp/products/det...p?code=A084950

    Not too sure about how you get around that one - don't want to get myself confused with Japanese and don't want to buy if I don't know what I am doing.
    Anybody had any luck with these?

    Thanks!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I have had a look at their website and you are correct, they don't seem to have any available. Keep checking though every now and then because they have withdrawn the SAS before and then bought it back. Probably due to other demands in their business or problems with raw materials?

    Maybe it could be that. I thought they had abandoned the SAS line to dedicate themselves to the Neo-Sas range anyway, but I can't get that range from their English website either, only from the Japanese one...

    Just use the Japanese site; I've used it a couple of times, with absolutely no issues.
