The Best Replacement Needles for Shure’s M44-7 Cartridge
A year ago, Mojaxx reviewed Jico’s replacement needles for Shure’s M44-7 cartridges. He found that they were a good alternative to the original styli, but they weren’t essential because the originals were still available.
However, that changed in May when Shure announced that it was discontinuing its entire range of phono products. Now, with the new-found need for replacements, Mo takes another look at Jico’s styli.
Watch above on this week’s Tips and Tricks.
Jico’s needles can be purchased at their website, PLANT RECORDS, and Scratch Pro Audio.
