A microscope w/ 200X magnification. Some good audio stores had them prior to the CD onslaught. One would think w/ the mega buck T/Ts, their dealers would invest in one. After several stylus replacements or retippings, it would pay for itself.n
How to determine wear on a stylus?
Over the years I've accumulated several cartridges and would like to determine which have styluses that are still in good shape. I suppose a microscope would be the best way to examine them; any recommendations as to type and power? Or any other methods of determining wear on a stylus?
