Established in Japan in 1873, JICO’s origins trace back to crafting sewing needles for Kyoto’s fashion industry. The company evolved to create its first record needle in 1966, now offering over 2,000 exquisitely handcrafted stylus models. With a legacy built on innovation and artistry, JICO continues to weave new stories, earning acclaim among DJs, audiophiles, and vinyl enthusiasts worldwide.

Their line-up includes original products like the new "Clipper" MM cartridge, the "Seto-Hori" MC cartridge, and the celebrated replacement stylus for the legendary SHURE N-44G cartridge. Far from being just an alternative, the JICO N-44G is the only choice for DJs, audiophiles, and collectors who want to preserve this cartridge’s legacy.
