Stylus cleaning

don’t you need two for stereo?

Nice pics Mark. Any idea how much use that stylus has had?

Flogged to death IMO

No idea tbh.

Amazing images Mark :+1:

how quickly do they wear? Given diamond is pretty much the hardest thing known to man, and that a record must be made of a softer material, I am surprised that records don’t wear quicker than styli?

They do. A stylus should last a couple of thousand hours. if you played a record for that long, it would be fucked. :+1:

I assume that makes the stylus wear much quicker, which is one of the reasons it sounds like shit.

Prog records never wear, cos no fucker ever plays them…

'cept @MGOwner and @charliechan of course

Yes, the prolonged high frequencies from flute solos with added cape resonances causes havoc…

the implication of course, since your tweeters are fine, is that you have a better taste in music!

Well retrieved sir! :grinning:

A soft material moving fast on a hard material causes wear to the hard material. Metal polishing is a good example.
