Combining artisanal heritage and targeted innovations, the brand has developed its own cartridge + stylus assemblies to offer a credible solution for users seeking continuity of feel on vinyl turntables without compromising on meticulous craftsmanship.

With the J44A-7 Aurora Improved, JICO clearly positions itself as a high-end replacement option for fans of the M44-7, while adapting certain technical choices to the realities of modern mixing and scratching.

Who Is This DJ Cartridge For and What Are Its Uses?

The JICO J44A-7 Aurora Improved is aimed at DJs who want a cartridge with a high output level, capable of staying stable in the groove during backspins, cuts, chirps, and intense scratch sessions.
