78 RPM stylus for Shure M73 Series cartridge
78 RPM STYLUS FOR SHURE M73 SERIES CARTRIDGE
The 78 RPM stylus for the Shure M73 Series cartridge
features a 3.0 mil special polished diamond designed for
playing 78 RPM records, thus resulting in minimal groove
wear and an accurate rendition of voice and music. The
stylus is made in Japan by a world-class manufacturer with
a reputation for crafting musically excellent and
high-quality replacement styli.
A very common misconception is that you can use an LP
stylus for playing 78 RPM records. This is one quick and
sure way to damage the 78 RPM record grooves. To maintain
the playback fidelity of your 78 record, you really need
to use a stylus designed for 78 RPM records, otherwise
with just a single playing, you could ruin the fidelity
of the record grooves. Moreover, the LP stylus is much
narrower than the 78 RPM record groove hence the tip will
slide to the bottom of the groove where debris has
collected for many decades. This results in
extraordinarily high-surface noise.
