Clipper MM
Cartridges
The JICO Clipper MM cartridge offers a modular design with maximum user flexibility - it is compatible with JICO N44-7, N44G, CRCP/MK1 replacement inserts and SHURE 44-series replacement pickup stylus, including JICO ND (Nude Diamond), SD (Synthetic Diamond), MORITA (Wood Cantilever) and SAS, as well as vintage SHURE pickup stylus.
Clipper-S
Cartridges
The new JICO Clipper-S model is based on the original JICO Clipper cartridge, designed for curved tonearms. This version takes into account other alignment requirements required for direct-arm turntables, which have become more popular among modern vinyl lovers. The head design ensures precise alignment and stable operation, preventing misalignments that may occur when using standard shells with straight tonearms.
