[78-L] Stylus size

[David Lennick]

I have a genuine Stanton 2.1 TE and a 2.0 TE from Nauck's source (Expert?). 
There are differences, as you'd expect. But I don't have the same size from 
both manufacturers. Incidentally, I've had the Stanton stylus for at least 10 
years and it still performs beautifully.
