JICO replacement Shure N-44E IMPROVED stylus - for US sale only

Bringing Back The Oldies

In 1969 as a freshman in college, I ordered an Allied (made by Pioneer) stereo amp and Realistic (made by BSR) turntable. Many years later, when solid state became plentiful and reliable, I moth balled the old tube amp and turntable in my basement. When I retired in 2015 I decided to restore the amp with filter and coupling capacitor updates for a revisit to vinyl. As part of the restoration process I replaced the stylus on the turntable. I have to say that I am very pleased with the mellow sound of vinyl... real or nostalgically imagined : ) Thank you LP Tunes for stocking a part for my old turntable!

Jico hooray!

I purchased this for use with my Shure M44-7 cartridge. It works great, sounds nice and detailed. I think they match very well. It is comparable to my Nagaoka MP, but a bit more dynamic. It could be the higher mV. I also have a Ortofon OM- 10 which right now is my go-to for most listening, and while it's slightly quicker in response, which is very nice, the M44E replacement by Jico, once again, has more dynamic punch. A great stylus!
