VN5xMR Styli for Shure V15VxMR (Type 5)
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
The stylus options in this group don’t carry the “MR” designation, as they use simpler elliptical or line contact profiles instead of a true Micro-Ridge cut. Still, they offer excellent value and a great way to bring your V15VxMR back into use with solid performance. If you already have a Micro-Ridge stylus, it’s worth picking up one of these as a spare — ideal for testing second-hand records or playing less pristine vinyl. Some users even prefer the slightly more forgiving nature of these profiles for certain genres or older pressings.
