Review on Enhance Your Vinyl Experience with JICO 78 RPM Replacement Stylus for Shure N-44-7 N44-7 by Dave Hammon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic replacement for OG Shute 447

First I will answer the "big question". Absolutely fantastic replacement for a GENUINE Shure 447. I was very dismayed to read that they were going to stop making needles. I thought it was the end for her; You'll have to switch to Ortofon Yellow/Blue club needles or, worse yet, convert. There was rampant inflation and frankly extortionate prices. Then JICO jumped in and filled the gap for us. Hell, they even released a glow-in-the-dark kit (great for dimly lit booths). The ONLY thing I don't like about them is that they don't have little "nipples" to attach the pen cap to which were on genuine Shure labels. So value for money is 4x more but to be honest they are great and sound great and I would rather rate them 4.5 stars. I shouldn't have put off buying new pens for so long. recommend. Worth the price.

Pros
  • Made in Japan, genuine JICO stylus, each stylus has been tested for quality and sound
Cons
  • Long delivery time
