Hmmm... I read some reviews and it sounds like it might be a giant killer. I might have to pick one up.

If you go to the media forum here there is a list of albums I dropped with a 440mLa. Tell me what you want to hear and I'll send you links. I love my 440.

Is it the shibata? There is a whole line of JICO styli IIRC.
papabearjew:
My input is probably worthless as I have a linear tracking turntable (ReVox B795), but I recently bought a new Grado Gold1 from Tom. I ran it through my copy of the Shure Audio Obstacle Course and it did an excellent job tracking the heavily modulated tracks. This info may or may not be useful but I have to get my post count up so I can get rid of the FNG title...plus I can't sleep as usual...
Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
You can get the Micro Ridge (next step up from shibata) for $8 less by going straight to the manufacturer...

I think I'm going to buy Shayne's AT, but if I ever get a stylus for my shure, I'll go with the "SAS" from JICO http://stylus.export-japan.com/product_info.php?products_id=1522 . 17 dollars more expensive, but supposedly way worth it.
Papa, I had a grado F1+ (similar to the Silver) awhile back and thought it sounded really good with the exception of tracking the last song. That's a benefit to having a linear tracking table for sure.
