JICO Skratch 101 Stylus

The JICO Skratch 101 stylus is the latest addition to the N44 series—a replacement stylus set designed specifically for beginner DJs who want to learn or develop basic mixing, scratching, and beat juggling skills. Or, perfect for intermediate skilled DJs that prefer a warmer ruby sound!

Positioned below the mid-range SD models and the high-end NUDE IMP models, the Skratch 101 offers an affordable solution without compromising on performance.

The set includes two N44 replacement needles, making it ideal for practice setups and ready to use right out of the box. At its heart is the ruby stylus tip, which was chosen for its hardness, durability, and consistent playback quality. This choice of material is particularly effective for beginners who are still honing their scratching techniques: the ruby tip can easily withstand more vigorous movements and clumsy handling during practice – without damaging records or affecting the sound. Whether classic vinyl or DVS, the Skratch 101 offers stable tracking and excellent groove contact, even with demanding techniques such as backspins or fast scratch routines. This ensures reliable feedback and control, which is crucial when learning timing, feel, and precision. Unlike many entry-level replacement needles, which sacrifice quality in favor of a low price, the Skratch 101 incorporates key performance features from the higher-end JICO models. It was designed not only to withstand the rigors of everyday DJing, but also to enable real technical and creative progress.
