Nagaoka - JN-P100 Replacement Stylus for MP-100

The genuine Nagaoka replacement stylus for the MP-100 and MP-100H — a new diamond, cantilever and suspension for a fraction of a new cartridge.

One of the practical advantages of the MP series is that the part which wears is the part you can replace. The JN-P100 is not just a diamond: the assembly carries the stylus, the cantilever and the suspension components, which between them do most of the work of following the groove. Fitting a genuine replacement restores the cartridge to the performance Nagaoka designed, rather than approximating it.

This assembly carries the MP-100's 0.6 mil bonded conical diamond on an aluminium-alloy cantilever, and tracks at 1.8 to 2.3 g. It pushes on and pulls off by hand — no realignment, no disturbing overhang or azimuth.

Aftermarket styli exist for these cartridges. They are not built by Nagaoka and their tip geometry, cantilever and suspension compliance are not the ones the MP-100's generator was designed around. This is the factory part.
