Once our BLISS reproduction stylus arrives from the factory in bulk each one is individually tested by our senior tech on the official genuine Shure DJ Biology Promo LP with a genuine Shure cartridge on our audio-technica AT-LP120USB table.  Once it passes scratching and cueing tests at the Shure nominal tracking weight of 2.25 grams it receives the signature neon paint on the cantilever (color may vary).  It's then retested and carefully packed in our special proprietary foam and hard snap case to prepare its shipment to you.  Don't drop $80 for the other guys' copy, try ours at just $55ea with our 100% money back guarantee.

The Shure N44-7 Stylus is number one because it has a great cost vs performance ratio. With a reasonable replacement price compared to other DJ styli (styluses), the N44-7 stands out with a steady loud output while safely sticking to your favorite vinyl when setup properly. Its round polished tip is gentle on your precious vinyl, allows back cuing and scratching with almost no wear and is near perfect for beat juggling. Turntablists and DJs both young and old choose the Shure N44-7 stylus time and again despite numerous new releases that consistently fail to topple the time tested N44-7.

NOTE: Because this needle is designed for use specifically with SHURE cartridges, it can be found in any brand of turntable. In some cases the cartridges for this needle may be original equipment supplied with a new turntable, but was also likely to have been selected at time of sale to complete a turntable sold without a cartridge or later as an upgrade to the original cartridge supplied by the turntable manufacturer. This needle should be matched primarily to the SHURE cartridge type not necessarily the turntable.
