Just a guess but I wonder if Bob Fulton's(I knew him from his visits ti Gordon Holt in the 70s) choice of conical styli may be due to it being way easier to set up a conical pickup versus ellipticals or other exotic shapes. Even if the conical doesn't retrieve as much data ultimately it should be easy to align a conical versus an elliptical, etc. in a groove and get very good sound versus great sound but only with difficult set up. And I'll bet VTA is easier to set up with a conical. Plus not to mention if the elliptical isn't set in the cantilever perfectly You may never get the geometry right. Just conjectures? Thoughts?
