Nagaoka Jt-80lb

The Nagaoka brand needs no introduction ..... is synonymous with a beautiful and warm sound with crystal clear high notes.

New for 2020

Nagaoka manufactures exclusively MM pickups and has technologically perfected them with 100% control over the quality of the individual parts. Their series of transducers combines the simplicity of MM transducers with the musicality and tonal accuracy of MC transducers. To protect your investment, all the transducers have a tip change option !

All Nagaoka portables are equipped with Nagaoka MI technology® MI (Moving Iron). This gives them the high level of detail associated with the more expensive Moving Coil (MC) systems, while retaining the convenience of a replaceable tip and the high performance associated with Moving Magnet (MM) types. The transducer incorporates a powerful Samarium - Cobalt magnet and a high output level coil, so that a very lightweight steel and nickel end extension can be used instead of the much heavier permanent magnet used in conventional designs. This reduces the moving mass of the cartridge, allowing the shaker to follow the recording groove more faithfully. The MI system is fully compatible with the preamplifier for MM cartridges. The result and advantage of this demanding system to produce is high clarity and superior pickup capability with the musicality and tonality accuracy of MC cartridges.

The new line of Nagaoka MM phono cartridges from Japan is here! Nagaoka is synonymous with "beautiful and warm sound with crystal clear treble", which aptly describes the sonic expression of these products. The transducers have an excellent frequency response and guarantee the highest transparency and excellent intelligibility of sound recordings. Since Nagaoka has perfected the MM system, it rivals and in many cases beats other significantly more expensive MM and MC transducers!

Nagaoka turntables use only top quality materials with special workmanship. A well-designed magnetic circuit, a precision-made tremor and pickup tip, all 100% developed and manufactured Made in Japan by Nagaoka. The result is an amazing sound previously only found in the much more expensive MM and MC transmissions.

The new line of pickups is made of special materials that reduce unwanted vibrations to a minimum level:
