The replacement for the Kenwood N-53 N53 needle stylus is used with the Kenwood V-53 V53 phono cartridge. The stylus features a highly polished bi-radial diamond with a .0005 x .0006 inch radii. It offers long playing life, reduced record wear, precision tracing of record grooves and good rendition of voice and music. The stylus is made in Japan.
I really enjoy listening to albums with my Empire S2000E/III and this new JICO stylus. It gives me another experience from my normal Ortofon 2m blue cartridge. I get a better upper range definition and slightly less bass with the Empire/JICO setup, and a perfect alternative cartridge for my budget stereo!
A different brand of stylus cartridge was on my record player, which I discovered when I bought the record player brand of replacement needle, and it didn't fit. I sent photos, and they were able to identify the correct stylus. It works!
The replacement belt was a perfect fit.
Received it in a few days
Thanks
Perfect fit - thanks
Have tried the replacements from the uk and all were sub standard. This one however coming in from America is a different matter. Sound quality is fantastic what a difference from British products. One drawback was delivery charges.
The needle for our Emerson record player is great.
