Esteemed 78-l Members,


I have acoustic records (1902-1910) that require a larger stylus (3.5 and 4.0 for starters and truncated elliptical styli). I purchased some 
customized ones that are for a Stanton 500 cartridge. The mismatch is 
caused by the fact that the tonearm is a 1970s light arm requiring a high-compliance cartridge such as the Shure M91-ED; the Stanton 500 series are all low-compliance cartridges.
