| Stylus Wear Question 👍 | |
| HiFi News Test Record Azimuth All fear aside, the wonderful thing about analog is that if it sounds good, it is good. I whole heartedly agree on eliminating unnecessary setup tools. A trusty metal Dennison & a few other pieces, bits and records can get me as far down the r... | |
| Stylus Wear Question I noticed my local jeweler has a nicer stereo microscope than the 200x Stereo Wild Heerbrugg I have access to. Excellent lighting too! Just a thought . . . | |

| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts Dear @ rauliruegas,Thanks for making me think through this a bit more - my observation makes little sense from a zenith or tracking error perspective (Baerwald BTW). Not a wear issue either in the case of my fresh example, which could explain . . ... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts FWIW, I tend to prefer 9” arms with advanced shaped styli and 12”+ with conical/spherical types.The Denon 103(R) is a classic example that can easily “fall off the sibilant cliff” past the 2nd null point on a short arm. |
