EAT Jo Nº8: High-Performance MC Phono Cartridge
The Jo Nº8 is the reference moving coil (MC) cartridge from EAT – European Audio Team, conceived as the natural evolution of the acclaimed Jo Nº5. While the Jo Nº5 surprised critics and enthusiasts alike with its outstanding performance-to-price ratio, the Jo Nº8 goes one step further, with no compromises in material selection or manufacturing precision.
Its founder, Jozefina Lichtenegger, sums it up: “The Jo Nº8 was born from the demand of customers and distributors who wanted to go further, incorporating more exclusive components, a stricter selection process, and a body of superlative precision.” The result is a transducer that extracts more information from the groove than ever imagined, delivering a natural, refined sound full of musicality.
Precision engineering for demanding audiophiles
The phono cartridge is the most critical transducer in the audio chain: it converts the mechanical information of the groove into an electrical signal — the reverse process of a loudspeaker. Any deviation at this first stage has a much greater impact than in the rest of the system, which is why EAT designed the Jo Nº8 with obsessive attention to detail and the finest materials.
Nude Shibata stylus – renowned for superior tracking ability and extraordinary micro-detail resolution.
Boron cantilever – lightweight, rigid, and extremely precise, ensuring fast and faithful signal transmission.
8N copper coils – ultra-pure for minimal loss and distortion.
Special TPE suspension – precisely controls movement, reducing unwanted resonances.
Hybrid body – dark stabilized chestnut wood combined with precision-machined aluminum for the perfect balance of sonic warmth and structural control.
Each unit is individually selected to the tightest tolerances, ensuring absolute consistency in performance.
Exclusive design and presentation
Beyond its internal engineering, the Jo Nº8 stands out for its elegant dark chestnut wood finish, which not only helps control resonance but also provides a timeless, sophisticated look. It comes delivered in a real wooden case, highlighting its exclusivity and audiophile pedigree.
