This is the Genuine Nagaoka JN-P200 needle for the Nagaoka MP series cartridge. The JN-P200 features Nagaoka's high-quality polished SUPER-fine elliptical bonded diamond tip. This upgraded elliptical tip enriches tone and detail by tracking the grooves with more precision than a conical needle. Also integrated into the JN-P200 is Nagaoka's high-strength boron cantilever for optimal sound reproduction, this is an upgrade from its predecessor, the JN-P150, found here. The JN-P200 is the original replacement stylus for the Nagaoka MP-200 cartridge. If you are searching for the original MP-200 cartridge, that can be found here.
