{"product_id":"jico-j-aac0868-clipper-hi-fi-phono-cartridge-with-headshell","title":"JICO J-AAC0868 Clipper Hi-Fi Phono Cartridge with Headshell","description":"\u003cp\u003eSculpted as a single piece of cartridge and headshell, the JICO Clipper rethinks the familiar 44-series moving magnet design for hi-fi listening. Its glossy black UVCRM resin body is molded with an ApexGlide finger lift and locks directly into a standard tonearm collar, so there is no separate headshell to align and no lead wires to fiddle with. The Clipper comes from the JICO Custom Shop in Japan, where every stylus is still finished by hand, and it ships complete with the CRCP\/MK1 stylus installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat stylus is the reason the Clipper sounds the way it does: a solid natural diamond with a 0.12 mm conical tip, fitted to JICO's original tapered S-cantilever in aluminum. The tapered profile stiffens the cantilever without adding mass, giving clean transient response and a stable, relaxed presentation across the 20 Hz to 20 kHz band. Output is a strong 5.0 to 8.0 mV into a standard 47 kilohm load, so the Clipper drives any MM phono stage without extra gain, and the roughly 16.7 g total mass suits the medium-mass tonearms found on most modern and classic turntables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond its own CRCP\/MK1 replacement stylus, the Clipper body is compatible with the entire Shure 44-series stylus family, including JICO's N44-7 and N44G DJ styli, ND nude diamond, SD synthetic diamond, MORITA wood-cantilever and SAS models, and even vintage Shure needles. One cartridge can therefore move between serious listening and DJ duty just by swapping the stylus, which makes the Clipper an unusually versatile centerpiece for a vinyl system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal JICO design that integrates the moving magnet cartridge and headshell into one body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlossy black UVCRM resin body with ApexGlide headshell finger lift, built for long-term durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts directly into a standard tonearm locking collar; no separate headshell or lead wires required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with the JICO CRCP\/MK1 stylus: solid natural diamond 0.12 mm conical tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJICO original tapered S-cantilever in aluminum for clean transient response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.0 mV - 8.0 mV output and 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response for use with any MM phono input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with JICO N44-7 and N44G DJ styli plus Shure 44-series ND, SD, MORITA and SAS replacement styli and vintage Shure needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Japan by the JICO Custom Shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: J-AAC0868\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge with integrated headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Glossy black UVCRM resin with ApexGlide finger lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus: CRCP\/MK1, solid natural diamond, 0.12 mm conical tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCantilever: JICO original tapered S-cantilever (aluminum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Voltage: 5.0 mV - 8.0 mV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Load: 47 kilohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended Tracking Force: 2.0 g +\/- 0.2 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Balance: 1.5 dB or less\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Approx. 16.7 g including headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement Stylus: JICO CRCP\/MK1 (J-AAC0869); also accepts JICO\/Shure 44-series styli\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage Dimensions: 3 x 1 x 2 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEAN: 4951586008682\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJICO Clipper cartridge with integrated headshell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCRCP\/MK1 stylus (installed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50816710279365,"sku":"JI-JAAC0868","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/1-jico-j-aac0868_f76e3648-6e71-451a-9e01-588ba2a4fa69.jpg?v=1793122423","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/jico-j-aac0868-clipper-hi-fi-phono-cartridge-with-headshell","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
