Stylus for Shure M95ED

[Weeman1973]

I want to use a Shure M95ED Cartridge I have on a Thorens TD160 (original arm) I'm hoping to get soon.

The cartridge has an aftermarket stylus currently (not sure of brand but it came from Stylus Store) which is a very loose fit so I'm looking for something better.

Anyone got any recommendations they can share please? I would love a Jico SAS but out my budget and also I feel perhaps a bit overkill on the arm / deck anyway.

I'd like to steer clear of the £20 regular ones you see on eBay but I have seen a Thakker one for about £65 that looks interesting .

Thanks in advance.

Hi Russell

I would ask thakker where their stylus comes from, if its Japan its probably Jico which, in theory, should be same as the one you have
Strangely, i remember it being a tighter fit in the M95 GLM fitted to a Dual.

There is some interesting info on M95 stylii in this article . Interesting comment about there being different jico grades so this may be worth looking into.
