The "donut" 45's I'm referring to were mainly made in the 80's. They were more like hard plastic than soft vinyl. RCA, A&M, Columbia/epic/CBS, Casablanca, and a few other labels used it. The needle would litteraly tear up the record as it played. You could lift the tone arm up and see the build up of gunk on the stylus and white residue on the 45. Different cartridges would damage them while others would not.
Difference between micro line and gyger s stylus
I see that Benz has switched from a micro line stylus tip to the gyger s stylus tip. What differences both in sound and set up should a person expect? Pro's and Con's on both are welcome.
Also, would one style work better or worse on my Naim ARO unipivot tonearm mounted on LP12?
Thank you,
Don
