Description
★Scratch-play compatible replacement stylus for M44 series and J44 series★

The JICO SKRATCH 101-40 is a replacement stylus that can be used with JICO MM cartridges: J44D, J44A 7 / J50 / IMPACT / ALFA MODEL / GENRE BNDR MODEL / Clipper or SHURE MM cartridges: M44G, M44-7.

As an entry-level model in the N44 series, this comes as a more affordable two-pack of replacement styli.

SKRATCH 101 was developed for beginner DJs who are just starting to learn techniques such as mixing, scratching, and beat juggling.
The recommended tracking force has been increased to withstand the heavy scratching required during DJ sets.

This replacement stylus is a "natural solid ruby ​​round stylus" type. It is a general-purpose model with a standard conical shape that reproduces a typical frequency range.

■Ruby Tip Feature: A major feature of the "SKRATCH 101-40" is its ruby ​​tip.
Ruby's superior hardness and durability make it suitable for beginner DJs who haven't yet mastered a delicate touch, and its ability to withstand even aggressive DJing minimizes the impact on records and sound quality.

Furthermore, in addition to standard analog record playback, it also supports DVS, ensuring reliable tracking performance in a wide range of environments.
Even with fast-paced techniques like backspins and scratches, it reliably tracks the grooves, protecting the record and providing feedback to help you develop a feel for the touch.

■ Compatible with J44 and M44 cartridges
The SKRATCH 101 is compatible with JICO's MM cartridges "J44A 7," "J44D," "J50," "IMPACT," and "Clipper," as well as SHURE's MM cartridges "M44-7" and "M44G." The SKRATCH 101 inherits the design of its higher-end models, the N44 NUDE and N44 SD, maintaining reliable quality. While designed for beginners, it offers uncompromising perfection in both technical and creative aspects.
