Whole Note Distribution, a division of ‘FEEL FLOWS Audio Collective’, is delighted to announce its appointment as the exclusive UK and Ireland distributor for JICO’s renowned range of cartridges, styli, and accessories. 

Established in Japan in 1873, JICO’s origins trace back to crafting sewing needles for Kyoto’s fashion industry. The company evolved to create its first record needle in 1966, now offering over 2,000 exquisitely handcrafted stylus models. With a legacy built on innovation and artistry, JICO continues to weave new stories, earning acclaim among DJs, audiophiles, and vinyl enthusiasts worldwide.

Their line-up includes original products like the new "Clipper" MM cartridge, the "Seto-Hori" MC cartridge, and the celebrated replacement stylus for the legendary SHURE N-44G cartridge. Far from being just an alternative, the JICO N-44G is the only choice for DJs, audiophiles, and collectors who want to preserve this cartridge’s legacy.

David Graham, Sales Director at Whole Note Distribution, shared his enthusiasm about the partnership: "Bringing JICO’s exceptional products to the UK market is an exciting prospect for us. Their dedication to exceptional, innovative audio products aligns seamlessly with our mission to deliver the finest equipment to passionate music lovers and developing the growth of vinyl culture in the UK.”

Greg Chapman, founder of FEEL FLOWS, emphasised the synergy between the companies:
"JICO is a natural fit for FEEL FLOWS. Our vision of connecting people through community, culture, and intentional listening complements JICO’s passion for analogue playback. Just as tube amps allow for sound customisation through “tube rolling”, JICO’s extensive range of styli opens doors to exploring unique sound profiles, tailored to you – that is a fascinating story to tell. Beyond distribution, we’re excited to share this one of a kind brand with the UK and Ireland through events, collaborations, and partnerships.”

Pricing and Availability
JICO will be available through select UK resellers via Whole Note Distribution, including specialist hi-fi retailers, DJ shops, record stores, and musical instrument outlets nationwide.

The JICO range of cartridges starts from £39.95 to £3,299.95 and Stylus from £49.95 to £279.95.
