OM10 cartridge with Jico Hyper-elliptical Stylus

A Jico hyper-elliptical stylus is fitted to an OM10 body and supplied with a stylus cover and mounting bolts and nuts.

The advantage over normal elliptical styli is that the narrower front to back dimension and wider side dimension provides an optimized contact area, resulting in reduced second harmonic and intermodulation distortion.

We suggest you set the tracking weight to the upper limit of the range, ie about 1.7g.
