The J44 is made to closely match Shure's defunct M44G. It performs as well as, if not better than the original. The nude diamond stylus is a great upgrade, offering better sound quality and more forgiveness. It's the best option when you can't find deadstock M44G's. Our staff loves it!
Using the Jico J44D DJ cartridge is quite simple. First, make sure you have the mounting hardware. Attach the cartridge to your turntable using the provided parts, but remember you'll need to source your own headshell wires. When using it, keep in mind the tracking force should be set between 3.5 - 4.5 g for optimal performance. For the best sound, make sure your turntable is on a stable surface. As for maintenance, always use the clear stylus guard to protect the synthetic diamond tip stylus when the cartridge is not in use. Store it in the protective plastic case to prevent any physical damage. With proper use and care, this cartridge will give you great sound for a long time.
