"TYPE-S" Cantilever
JICO is pleased to announce that the replacement needle specifications for SHURE 44 models will be upgraded.
Since 2019, our company has been researching and developing new cartridges and styli as part of the "The Road to the Revival of the SHURE44 Model" initiative. The J44D and J44A 7 cartridges were introduced in April 2021 attracting international attention with positive reviews.
We have developed a "Type S" Cantilever with 3 core key points similar to SHURE's interchangeable styli. JICO is now ready to begin mass production.

We require additional time for research and development before we are able to fully launch our products. First, we have succeeded in reconstructing the quality of sound and preventing the needle from jumping while scratching during DJ performances, thus an upgraded model with new adjusted specs will be released.
In the past, research and development would cost a lot of time and money, and that should be reflected in the price of a product. However, the price will be maintained with the goal to have as many people to enjoy the JICO brand and the respect to SHURE to continue the legacy.

■DJ Testimonials
Good job! Tracking: WOW ! almost perfect… Only 1 jump during my test (2h) and needle was at the edge of vinyl. Scratches (chirps / stabs / military /…), quick and “aggressive” backspins … I did a scratches on a kick drum to stress it out on a precise cue point, no jump !
