A Replacement Stylus Designed to Restore Clean Sound
A diamond naturally wears over time and can cause loss of definition, sibilance, and listening fatigue. This elliptical stylus is designed to provide clear and consistent playback while maintaining simple and coherent settings for vinyl turntable use.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
This stylus is intended for DJs and vinyl enthusiasts seeking finer playback than a spherical profile, whether for hi-fi listening, DJ sets, or home studio use. It is particularly suitable for users attentive to transient accuracy, vocal clarity, and high-frequency control.
Features and Innovations
Thanks to its elliptical profile and a tip radius r/R of 8/18 µm, this stylus improves contact with the groove walls for better separation and reduced distortion. Its tracking force range of 1.25 to 1.75 g (recommended 1.5 g) facilitates tracking optimization. The lateral dynamic compliance of 20 µm/mN and the 20-degree stylus angle contribute to stable playback, with a measured tracking ability of 60 µm (315 Hz) at the recommended force.
