Tried to replace the stylus with original N44-7 white color made by mexico in 2013., but still prefer to N44-7 yellow color. Balance sound with rich bass and fair treble.

I have to do a few other recording tests first though and I really don't enjoy all the switching components lol. So could be a little while xD The following year she returned to the catalog with the word 'spcial DMC' and also an increase of 100%.

R is on the left, L is on the right, color o-rings can be removed and swaped, letter markings are divided horizontally, but audio is divided vertically, instead of color code each pin G=green, B=Blue, W=White, R=Red, has R, L, RG, LG. have been using the Jico version for about a month and while it doesn't hold the vinyl as well as the Shure for mixing/scratching, and there's a bit too much low end, other than that the sound it good overall it's a solid substitute.

If these exist, https://www.turntablelab.com/products/jico-n-44g-improved-replacement-stylus-for-shure-m44g-192-44g-imp ; https://lptunes.com/products/jico-replacement-shure-n-44g-improved-stylus , I might be interested in getting one, as it seems to be the closest match to Shure's M44G. pliers are Not good enough to make the perfect bend required, bend have an small arc before the 45° tabs, if you succeed to bend perfectly, then add UV resin to stop tabs from moving or touching the metallic shell, hot silicone could work, but... tolerances must be flawless or repaired side will have lower volume. Seriously, she's great. Whether or scratch mix it up to par, it remains anchored in the groove as if it was born. Whether 1.5 or 3g, set at 23 ° right or it's the same, it does not budge.

One thing that is interesting, the 'G' model from Tonar costs a little bit more than the '7' model for some reason.. https://www.juno.co.uk/products/tonar-n447-replacement-diamond-stylus-for-shure/699418-01/ As for distortion issues, are you using the RECORD output of your mixer, or BOOTH/MIX/MASTER output? Does your sound card have option to choose either 'instrument/consumer line' or '+4db line' or 'mic' level? Make sure it is either +4db line (for master output of mixer) or 'instrument/consumer line (-10dB line)' for record output.And we have tested them all on the same system in a bar with the owner of the place and even a customer once. Unanimously the DJ got the favor of us all. Requiring higher VTF, but manage to push on the VTF of the "standard" to 2.5g. and the lowest VTF @ 3g. on the "DJ" to meet on "evenly" VTF for whatever that's worth. Apparently the 'flexible' model is 16 size, whereas Shure was 20, so it will be slightly less flexible than Shure. So maybe wont bend to one side as easily. My understanding is that the original line up was M44E, M44-5, M44-7 and M44C. They appeared about the time of the first V15 as they share the same body in different housings. The N44-1 and N44-3 styli added mono and 78rpm to these models. The M55E appeared when the original V15 was replaced by the V15II, as to all intents purposes they are the same and the M44-5 was superceded by the M44G.

Shure is privately held and has the ability to do things other companies can’t or won’t do. They have a complete archive with at least one of every product they have ever made since 1932. A possible historical side note on the Shure M95 and V15 and perhaps others. Both have bad press in some circles; the following perhaps some illumination on why. I’m telling this story for two reasons; one, the sound of that 1200 still haunts me and like chasing the dragon for an addict, it’s the feel of that first system (aforementioned 1200, an original NAD 3020 and a pair of Klipsch Heresy II) that I still try to build on with every iteration of hi-fi I’ve curated throughout the in-between decade. The second is the fact that the Shure M44-7 was integral to shaping how music was heard not only for my generation, but Boomers as well. I've heard that Shure, Jico and Tonar all need time to break in - would leaving the tonearm/stylus resting on a piece of vinyl for a night or two be a decent way to start the process? I realise actually playing the thing is best but is that an ok warm up? I wouldn't have the turntable powered or platter spinning, just letting the cantilever 'break in'.Finally what I like least is the look (not really important) is the sound you are looking (well I think). I would like to thank Michael Pettersen for his time and very informative interview. It is always a pleasure to reminisce about a hobby that is ever changing and, for some of us old timers, will never be quite the same. The Shure V15 marks I and II are not really worth considering for your turntable, unless interested from a collector’s point of view. Their sound was unrefined compared to the later series. Better sound could be achieved by a new M97xE for less. The vanilla n44G is exactly the one I wanted to buy in the first place, only it did not have protection, so I asked JICO staff whether the DJ is any different. The answer I got was that the only difference between the two is that DJ has protection, whereas vanilla does not. I'm guessing 'firm' stylus is for sound quality, 'flexible' for longevity with mixing and scratching.. 'flexible' meaning like the Shure stylus, they will eventually bend to one side? xD
