For sale: Replacement stylii for Shure V14-IV cartridge.

Selling on behalf of a friend, two replacement stylii for the Shure VI5-IV cartridge: a VN45HE and a VN45MR.


VN45HE



This has a nude hyper-elliptical stylus, with an optional Dynamic Stabilizer fitted integral with the stylus guard. Data taken from the enclosed information sheet is as follows:

Output (1kHz at 5cm/sec peak recorded velocity): 4mV
Frequency response: 10Hz – 25,000Hz
Channel balance: within 2dB
Channel separation: 25dB at 1kHz, 15dB at 10kHz
Tip tracking force: 1.25 – 1.75gram
Trackability (cm/sec peak recorded velocity) at 1gram:
400Hz – 29cm/sec
1,000Hz – 42cm/sec
5,000Hz – 47cm/sec
10,000Hz – 37cm/sec

The stylus comes complete in its plastic case, with data sheet and outer cardboard box.

I can’t say how many hours use the stylus has had, but inspection using a 60x inspection eyepiece, shows the stylus to be clean with very little wear.
