Artisanal Japanese manufacturing. JICO, acronym for Nippon Precision Jewel Industry Co. LTD, is a Japanese manufacturer well known among aficionados of high-quality cartridges and diamonds for turntables, both audiophiles and DJs alike. This family business based in the Hamasaka region of the Land of the Rising Sun, with origins dating back to 1873, began its history by manufacturing sewing needles, a precision activity that already foreshadowed its future! Manufacturing diamonds and cantilevers since 1966 that have made its reputation, the brand has continuously innovated while preserving traditional manufacturing techniques, and now offers its own headshells, cartridges, and diamonds for the delight of all vinyl lovers. The legend at your fingertips. The brand has worked hard to offer vinyl enthusiasts and DJs a replacement solution for the famous Shure M44-7 and N44-7 cartridges and diamonds, true legends that have marked the history of Hip-Hop and scratching. This JICO J44A-7 Aurora moving magnet cartridge, featuring a high output level allowing it to be paired with most phono preamps on the market, offers performance equivalent to the Shure M44-7 cartridges of the time, with powerful bass and a smooth, balanced sound. Its 1/2" mounting interface makes it a very versatile cartridge, which can be mounted on most headshells on the market. The N44-7 Aurora stylus, with its precisely crafted tubular aluminum Type S cantilever designed to closely match Shure cantilevers, combined with a nude (bare) diamond, offers excellent guidance in the vinyl groove and increased resistance to skipping, while providing you with high-definition audio quality.
An optimized version for DJs. This J44A-7 cartridge offered by JICO, which reproduces sounds similar to the authentic Shure cartridges, benefits from improvements made by the brand to best meet the needs of DJs. The recommended tracking force has been increased, from a maximum of 3g for the Shure model to 4.5g for this JICO model to ensure better tracking for the most demanding turntablism sessions. The stylus body of this Aurora version, made of Lumi Nova phosphorescent pigments, glows in the dark to more easily locate your stylus tip in low light, while adding an unmistakable touch to your turntable! And to protect the diamond in all circumstances, this model features a protective flap that folds over the stylus to prevent any harmful friction. - Contents: J44A-7 cartridge with phosphorescent lower part, N44-7 diamond with diamond protective screen, spherical nude diamond- Cartridge: J44A-7 (equivalent to Shure M44 7)- Aurora Improved version: cartridge with higher tracking force specifically designed for DJs, phosphorescent lower part of the cartridge, with diamond protective screen- Diamond type: spherical nude diamond, 0.7 mil, offering high-definition reproduction- Channel separation: 20 dB (1 kHz)- Channel balance: 1.5 dB maximum (1 kHz)- Output voltage: 5 to 8 mV- Recommended load resistance: 47 k?- DC resistance: 800?- Compliance: L8.5 / V7.8- Height: 16 mm- Cantilever: JICO improved Type S tubular aluminum, similar to original Shure model- Tracking angle: 7°- Mounting interface: standard 1/2"- Replacement diamond: JICO N44-7 AURORA IMP- Handmade in Japan
