With the Jico Skratch 101-40 Stylus (1 pair), you get a hands-on entry-level N44-based setup that feels like a pro tool. The needle is designed by Jico for aspiring DJs who want to learn mixing, scratching and beat juggling from scratch or hone their skills. Positioned among the SD and NUDE IMP series, the Skratch 101 offers a very strong value balance without giving in to control or sound. The focus is on the robust 0.4 mm ruby tip with spherical cut on a Jico type S aluminium needle carrier. This material is extremely hard, low-wear and can withstand stronger hand movements when practicing without unnecessarily stressing your plates.
