The Nagaoka JN-PMONO 1.0E is a dedicated replacement stylus for the Nagaoka MP-MONO cartridge. It features a 1.0 mil elliptical diamond tip, ideal for mono records with wider grooves. Designed for audiophiles who value detail and authenticity, this stylus brings out the warm, rich tone of vintage mono pressings.
Authentic mono playback
This stylus is built for lateral groove tracking, the way mono records were originally cut. By focusing only on horizontal groove movement, it reduces vertical noise and distortion. You’ll enjoy a more focused soundstage and cleaner playback, especially from early mono LPs and 45s.
