Description
Detailed Upgrade for the SONY ND 15 G Replacement Stylus | NUDE
This high-quality JICO replacement stylus features a fully “nude” diamond mounted directly on an aluminum cantilever. Thanks to its NUDE construction, the diamond tip is exceptionally light and precise, ensuring gentle and accurate tracking. It is an ideal, detail-oriented upgrade for all cartridges originally equipped with a SONY ND 15 G stylus.
Excellent NUDE Diamond Design:
Unlike bonded tips, the entire stylus tip is made of polished, solid diamond without any metal shank. This results in cleaner groove contact, stable tracking performance, and a pleasantly balanced sound. Even older or heavily played records are traced reliably and safely.

Sound Characteristics & Everyday Performance
