VN5xMR Styli for Shure V15VxMR
Shure Stylus Replacements
VN5x styli for Shure V15VxMR
Shure’s original VN5x stylus featured a highly refined Micro-Ridge tip on a beryllium cantilever — a combination known for its exceptional detail and tracking ability. Today, the best replacements come from JICO’s SAS series, available with boron, sapphire, or ruby cantilevers. These premium styli match the original’s low mass and high stiffness, ensuring accurate tracking and faithful sound reproduction. The SAS on boron offers an excellent balance between performance and price, delivering the signature SAS cut without breaking the bank. If budget allows, the sapphire or ruby versions take performance to the absolute highest level.

non-MR type styli for Shure V15VxMR
While the excellent SAS styli above feature a true Micro-Ridge tip like the original, we also offer more affordable alternatives. These options don’t carry the “MR” designation, as they are elliptical or line contact styli — not true Micro-Ridge profiles. Still, they provide a cost-effective way to bring your V15VxMR back into use.If you already own a Micro-Ridge stylus, we recommend keeping one of these as a spare — perfect for testing second-hand records or playing less pristine pressings. Some listeners may even prefer the slightly more forgiving character of a non-MR stylus for certain music or worn vinyl.
