What is it in MM that can give me goose-bumps? 🤔

@rauliruegas thanks for info.
I had been looking for xsv5000. 800 dollars with original stylus. can't afford that yet. 
I had tried jico stylus on other Stanton. it's horrid. wonder if it's the same case? 

@anthonyaI have all of them (high output XSV/5000, low output XLZ/4500, XLZ/7500), fully original with Stereohedron styli, using Jico or any other fake styli on Stanton/Picekring makes no sense. Genuine Pickering/Stanton top models goes up in price in time and the reason is outstanding sound quality.

My favorite Stanton is CS-100 WOS with Stereohedron mkII 

@chakster 

good to know. 

Any carts that worth its time using jico? 

@anthonya : Jico SAS with:  Garrot, Shure, JVC and some others.

Hico made some many cheap styli just to let people buy something for their old cheap cartridges. JICO SAS is extremely expensive profile and not available for all cartridges. I think it’s better to invest in original design and to fidn a genuine stylus if the price difference between original and JIC SAS is not big. As far as I know SAS is not available for Stanton/Pickering. Look for original Stereohedron. BTW the price you have mentioned from someone else for XSV/5000 is a fair price in my opinion. If the XSV/3000 is something like $350 then each next upper model is +$200 at least (and there are XLZ4500, XSV/5000, XLZ/7500).
