NAGAOKA JN-555 JN 555 JN555 EXPERT SUPER STYLUS

The Nagaoka JN-555 stylus private labeled for Expert Super uses the same Ultra-Ex nude stylus and solid carbon black cantilever as the original Nagaoka JN-555 stylus.

The Ultra-Ex stylus offers top performance for stereo to discrete four-channel reproduction, long playing life and clear tonal sound quality. The solid carbon black cantilever with its very high rigidity and very low effective mass, faithfully transmits the most delicate movements of the stylus tip to the magnet. By combining the solid carbon black cantilever with the Ultra-Ex stylus tip, the frequency response range has been widened to cover everything from the subsonic to the supersonic.

A Fine Cartridge for this Price

[playing two of these on Sansui SR636/Vincent PHO8 and Sansui FR5080/Sansui QRX6001 restored]

This seems to be a nicely made cartridge and stylus - and the stylus itself appears to be 'nude' as described and well shaped, under a low power microscope.
I initially set this to the top of the weight range indicated, for about 10 hours of playing, and then down to the recommended 1.3 grms.

At about 30-35 hours, this sounds very nice indeed - for classical records from several decades.
[Other cartridges I own: AT VM750SH, Ortofon Super OM/Shibata, Shure M91ED/Hi-Track and Vivid Line, Ortofon VMS/FineLine, Sansui SV40X/AT Shibata and Vivid Line]

Exactly what I needed

The stylus I received was absolutely perfect. I was gifted one of those sound systems capable of playing CDs, vinyls, cassettes, etc., which was a dream until the record player stopped working. After years of my vinyls collecting dust, I decided to get crafty and see what I could do to fix my machine. Unfortunately for me, my system is no longer being manufactured. After some toggling with machine parts and a purchase of a new stylus, my record player finally works! The stylus I purchased is infinitely better than the original stylus in terms of quality. I am happy to have been able to save the money I would have spent on another system and to keep a thoughtful gift.

easy to order, fast shipping

LP Tunes

LP Tunes communicated especially well answering technical,product and shipping questions throughout my purchasing experience. The turntable I purchased arrived in timely fashion and as advertised. I will return to them as a customer should I need additional audio equipment. I appreciate the fact they provide choice and quality turntables in the digital age.

The RXT6 Lives!

Got an old RXT6 cart on a parts TT with no stylus. Took a $50.00 gamble on the cart still working and ordered this stylus. The bad news is they no longer have this exact version with the brush, and you get an N97E stylus with the guard. The good news is for $50.00, it is a fine stylus. Very musical. Lots of detail. I am pleased with the product and the service. They emailed me to ask if I wanted the stylus without the brush, when most retailers would just mail it out.

Belted out of the park

exactly what i needed. Old turntable is like new.
