A leading edge, top performance cartridge for stereo and discrete four-channel reproduction, the Nagaoka JT-555 offers long playing life and majestic tonal quality. The solid-black carbon 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-black carbon cantilever with the superb Ultra-Ex stylus tip, the frequency response range has been widened to cover everything from the subsonic to the supersonic. Enjoy listening to your records again.

Amazing

This cartridge really sounds great. I set it at 1.4g and it tracks beautifully. Smooth natural sounding. Clear and clean. Just what my Techniques direct drive turntable needed.

A Fine Cartridge for this Price

I have bought three and a few styli from LPTunes and LPGear. I reviewed this elsewhere but sadly, these appear to be unavailable from now on.
LPTunes and LPGear appear to be connected, although their prices are not identical.
Service is good.

lower volume output?

Is this cartridge’s output volume considerably lower than of a say, shure m-44? i’m experience a good sound overall, pretty much what i was expecting, but at a much lower volume. i’m having to increase around 25-30% the knob to achieve similar results.
any comments will be much appreciated.
thanks!

"Bonded" version ?

I received the JICO replacement Shure VN-35E stylus for V15 Type III Series cartridge.
The sound produced by the stylus is excellent.
I regret, however, that there is no indication on your site that this is the "Bonded" version of the Stylus and not the "Nude" version also produced by Jico. I deduced this information from research I had to do on other companies' sites. I like to know exactly what I usually buy without having to guess.

A+ and great quality for the price. I depend on this company for all my phono needs. They are the best!

Clarity and transparency

Just what I needed. This cart breathes new life into old records, also minimizes surface noise. What a bargain!

Mitsubishi LT-5V 3 replacement belts

So glad you were able to provide the 3 belts for my 1983 Mitsubishi linear tracking turntable. They were shipped promptly and arrived in great condition. Now this classic turntable works great except I have to find a replacement tonearm lightbulb so tracking error problem gets fixed.
