Lots of records work better with different styli. A 2.1 mil truncated 
elliptical point is one that I've used for a very long time (an original 
Stanton, not an after-market one) with great success. My other favorite is 
impossible to find, the original Shure 2.5 mil elliptical SS-78E (not the 
after-market and definitely not the N-78-S which is garbage) that goes in the 
SC-35C cartridge, which requires a tracking force of about 5 grams.
