The Nagaoka JT-80LB is part of the new Jeweltone series, released to celebrate the Japanese brand’s 80th anniversary. This moving magnet (MM) cartridge, known for its elegant Lapis Blue finish, combines precision engineering with a rich, natural sound signature that delivers musicality far beyond its price point.
Clean, Engaging Sound Without Listening Fatigue
Equipped with a 0.4 x 0.7 mil bonded elliptical stylus mounted on an aluminum alloy cantilever, the JT-80LB provides controlled, detailed playback with a stable soundstage, excellent channel separation, and smooth tonality. It’s an ideal choice for long listening sessions and a wide variety of music genres—from classical to jazz, rock, or acoustic.

As with all Nagaoka MM designs, the stylus on the JT-80LB is easily replaceable, making it a long-lasting and user-friendly option. Whether you're a newcomer to vinyl or a seasoned audiophile, this cartridge offers great performance with simple maintenance.
