RE: 78 elliptical stylus

If you're going to play 78s on a changer it may be better to go for a truncated conical 3mil, as the VTA will change from the bottom record to the top. This isn't good news for an elliptical stylus, which is more VTA critical than a conical.

Like sjg and cactuscowby, I use several sizes of stylus, mainly truncated elliptical but also truncated conical and full elliptical and conical for some records.

The vast majority of post 1930 78s will work well with a 2.8mil or 3mil stylus.
