Precise Sound and Maximum Control – The JICO N-44G DJ IMP NUDE Replacement Stylus

Designed for demanding use in clubs, at gigs, or for precise scratching in turntablism, this spherical stylus delivers a powerful, dynamic sound with clearly defined highs, prominent mids, and rich bass.

Unlike conventional bonded styluses, the JICO N-44G DJ IMP is made entirely of natural diamond—a hallmark of quality that is immediately apparent in its sound and tracking accuracy. Thanks to its sturdy construction and exceptionally precise tracking ability, it stays reliably in the groove even under the toughest conditions, ensuring a consistently excellent listening experience.

JICO – Japanese Precision for Audiophiles and DJs

JICO (Japan Industrial Company) enjoys an excellent reputation among vinyl enthusiasts and professional DJs worldwide. These high-quality replica needles and cartridge systems from Japan are characterized by precise manufacturing, durable materials, and an authentic sound. The NUDE Series represents the premium segment of the lineup and uses exclusively natural diamond styluses—without a shank or adhesive bond, as found in bonded variants.

With the N-44G DJ IMP NUDE, JICO presents a model that can be used both as a replacement for its own JICO J44D system and as a high-quality replica of the Shure M44G cartridge system. This compatibility makes it particularly appealing to DJs who want to preserve the legendary Shure sound—even after the original has been discontinued.

Technical Details of the JICO N-44G DJ IMP NUDE Replacement Stylus

The JICO N-44G DJ IMP is an MM (Moving Magnet) replacement stylus with a frequency response range of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, delivering an extremely balanced frequency response. The spherically ground nude diamond tip with a diameter of 0.7 mm ensures precise contact with the record groove—ideal for precise tracking while mixing and scratching.

With an output voltage of 8 mV, the cartridge delivers a strong signal that performs reliably even with more complex signals or low-level pressings. The recommended tracking force ranges from 3.5 to 4.5 g, which gives the stylus both the necessary tracking stability and a smooth glide—without placing excessive stress on the record.

The stylus has a channel balance of ≤1.5 dB and a typical channel separation of 20 dB at 1 kHz, which contributes to a clear stereo soundstage. The DC resistance is 800 ohms, and the recommended load impedance is 47 kΩ. The conformity is specified as L8.5 / V8.5—ideal for stable, precise tracking performance on professional DJ turntables.

The cantilever corresponds to the JICO Type S and supports secure, long-lasting mounting on compatible cartridges. Thanks to its solid diamond construction, the stylus penetrates the groove with exceptional stability, which offers a clear advantage, especially during fast movements and reverse scratching.
