[78-L] 1-mil stylus

[Doug Pomeroy]

Yes, re-tipping is a bit less costly than ordering a whole new stylus.

But if the cantilever is weak, it's best to get a whole new one.  Expert 
will remove the stock tip from the new one and install any custom tip
you want.

For what it's worth, I have never been disappointed with anything I 
have purchased from Expert Stylus Company, going back more than 
20 years.  I've never had one of their diamond tips fail in any way, and 
I am very very hard on them!  I've destroyed many cantilevers, but have
never had a diamond come loose, which is simply amazing performance.

I don't know what David means by "loose fit and far too much chatter", 
since that would result from playing a groove too large for a 1 mil tip, 
which is obviously not the fault of the tip!
