Jico FAQs
What is the difference between J44D/N44G and J44D DJ/N44G DJ models?
The J44D/N44G have a recommended tracking force of 0.75~1.5g which is best for listening applications and for extending the lifespan of the records. The J44D DJ/N44GDJ have a recommended tracking force of 3.5-4.5g (like the J44A 7 DJ / N44-7 DJ) which is best for scratching but may wear records faster.
What is the difference between the N44G and N44-7 needles?
N-44G needles have a thicker low-end frequency response while the N-44-7 is brighter with clear bass.
What is a NUDE stylus?
The NUDE stylus is Jico’s newest type of stylus and is an improvement over previous versions. The entire tip of a NUDE stylus is composed of diamond, as opposed to bonded tips.
What is a Type S Cantilever?
The new modified upgrade TYPE S Cantilever includes a SOLID NUDE Conical Stylus tip for the J44/N44 models and is the ULTIMATE M44 replacement above all others.
The new JICO CUSTOM SHOP J44/N44 IMP models will be able to stay in the groove of a record with a high skip resistance during scratch performances and any movements made to a record due to an enhanced modification to the stylus’s cantilever upgrade. With the new stylus cantilever improvement and the incorporation of a SOLID NUDE Conical Stylus tip, the sound quality, and performance will be the ULTIMATE choice on the market for SHURE M44 fans.
This upgrade is for the following J44/N44 models: N44-7 DJ IMP, N44-7 AURORA, N44G DJ IMP
Since 2019, JICO has been researching & developing new cartridges and styli as part of the “The Road to the Revival of the SHURE Model 44” initiative. The J44D and J44A 7 cartridges were introduced in April 2021 attracting international attention with positive reviews. As a result of our research, we have developed a “Type S” Cantilever with 3 core key points similar to SHURE’s interchangeable styli.
