The A&R (Arcam) P77 is the same cartridge that was sold by Grace, Andante, Mission, and others. Here it is fitted with a new JICO SAS stylus that was made for the JICO MM-1 cartridge (the MM-1 was another variation of the same F9/Andante/etc base cartridge body).The P77 cartridge body is used, and tested by the seller from whom I purchased it. The JICO SAS-1 stylus is new -- removed from the packaging for a test fit with the P77 cartridge, but never mounted to a turntable (has never touched an LP). The SAS stylii have been discontinued by JICO, with no replacement yet available. Here's your chance to buy one of the few that remain unused.
