Justmetoo, You wrote, "slightly out of centre LPs are 'pulling' the stylus back and forth while
negotiating the outer grooves, clearly visible as it happens." I don't know why or how the shape of the stylus tip would make that phenomenon more or less apparent or more or less a cause of wow. Maybe you are saying that the increased compliance of the new stylus is making the phenomenon more easy to visualize, but you've quoted vertical compliance; that may have nothing to do with horizontal compliance. Off center LPs are an incurable cause of wow no matter what, unless you are one of the few who own the Nakamichi turntable that provided correction for this problem. We often lament that no other manufacturer ever adopted this adjustment. And the Nak is rare (maybe because it came out during the eclipse of vinyl reproduction by digital, was expensive, and did not sell well) as a result.
