That ones you got is what im definitely buying next! I had the Ortofon Concorde Club mk 2's and they kept jumping out of the grooves in my records, so i ended up selling them.
No worries bro. You can get them from openformat.la, turntable lab, juno.uk, Sweetwater I think has them now. Maybe you'll get lucky and someone will gift them to you like me. L8z
I have those. I had 3 of the needles break on me with constant use. On two different carts. Maybe that's just bad luck but I haven't ever had that with my Shure's or these Jico clones. l8r bro
I just wanted to be able to review the JICO carts on my channel. Once I got them, they are so good I just sold the Shure's to someone else for a reasonable price. I buy the Nude stylii replacements now of course, but yeah I just got them to review on my channel for starters. I love the carts and will never rock with a different one unless JICO stops making the stylii for it.....
@@GODInTheWax444 Thanks for the fast and detailed reply. I myself have a pair of Jico styli, albeit not the nude ones but the ''Improved DJ'' version and I noticed that I tend to get significant cue burn on my records just from normal backcueing and not even scratching. I can believe that Jico improved the sound quality, but did you notice that these carts/styli tend to wear your records faster than OEM Shure? The Jico do require a significant bump in VTF...
@@MrFeloustyle Not at all, my records have been doing great. I scratch a lot and my scratch records have been holding up great. Now I hear that some scratch records are usually cut with grooves and thick material that are meant to hold up better to the abuse of scratching. As for my records, I listen to those a lot as well, but you can only listen to so many at a time so they don't get as much play. I would definitely recommend switching to the NUDE stylii for your next set of replacements. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
sorry to be pedantic...... but the Shure M44-7 were 9.5mv where as the Jico N447 are only 8.0 mv so how can they sound the same..... its not possible when Shure are 9.5mv, not 8.0 mv
I think you put too much stake into the mV rating of carts. Look up your turntables specs and see how many mV the phono portion puts out. You'll be surprised its not that much and the cart doesn't even take full advantage of it. Besides, that only has to do with the loudness anyway. Not the expressiveness and nuances of the sound. That's what the JICO is good and better at....
@@GODInTheWax444 typical turntable has no rated mV output, the output RCA jacks are directly connected to the tonearm wiring and output voltage directly depends on a cartridge. Put a MC cartridege on a turntable and you'll get 0,3mV output signal. Put a ceramic piezo cartridge on it and you'll get some 250mV output signal.

@@GODInTheWax444 how long have you been using the JICOs for?
Review appreciated. Is there any reason you sold your cartridges instead of just buying the Jico replacement styli with your original Shure carts?

@GODInTheWax444 so you'd definitely recommend the Jico N447 with the NUDE Stylus ? Thanks for review and happy scratching... I mix dance
