A Modern Heir to a Cult Vinyl Reference
JICO (Nippon Precision Jewel Industry Co. LTD) is a Japanese manufacturer highly regarded by cartridge and diamond enthusiasts, both in hi-fi and DJ fields. Combining traditional craftsmanship with precision requirements, the brand has built a solid reputation thanks to its cantilevers and stylus tips. With the N44G DJ Improved, the goal is clear: to offer a credible, high-end replacement for the legendary Shure N44G, while adapting it to the real-world demands of turntables in DJ environments.
For Which DJs and Uses?
This stylus is aimed at DJs who want to retain the DNA of the Shure N44G on their vinyl: generous stereo imaging, smooth listening, and a pleasant "analog" response, while gaining better stability during handling. It is particularly suited for demanding practices (scratching, back-cueing, turntablism routines) as well as mobile and club DJs seeking stable tracking, good groove grip, and a reliable solution to replace increasingly rare styli.
