The JN-P500 is not simply 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line-contact profile is the whole reason for the MP-500, and it is in this assembly. A line-contact tip presents a long, narrow flank to the groove wall rather than a rounded one — sitting deeper, following high-frequency modulation an elliptical tip rides over, and spreading the tracking load across more of the wall so it wears records less. Fit an elliptical aftermarket stylus and you have an ordinary cartridge in an MP-500 body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt pushes on and pulls off by hand, with no realignment and nothing disturbed in your overhang or azimuth. Tracking force is the MP-500's 1.3 to 1.8 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Nagaoka replacement stylus assembly for the MP-500 and MP-500H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes the stylus, cantilever and suspension — not just the diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine-contact diamond on a boron cantilever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight 1.3 – 1.8 g tracking force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits by hand; no realignment required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan by Nagaoka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nagaoka MP-500 and MP-500H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStylus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Line-contact diamond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCantilever:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTracking Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 – 1.8 g (as specified for the MP-500)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStylus Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nagaoka's general dealer guidance is a replacement reference time of roughly 150 to 200 hours for typical home use.
