[QUOTE="LIVESOUND, post: 1110378, member: 778"] [B]fdlsys [/B]it seems we come from different planets when it comes to stylus wear and resonance in turntables. As regards stylus wear, I stand by what I have said based on scientific papers, extensive discussion on Vinyl Engine many months ago and my communications with specialist retippers. Just to recap for the benefit of others, eliptical styli have the shortest life and are most susceptible to generating IGD, conical are next and the microridge profiles give the longest life. As far as resonance in turntables is concerned, I have a different opinion from you. Vintage turntables were not engineered to deal with internally generated resonance, but more to eliminate the effects of footfalls and speaker feedback. Resonance generated by the stylus as it tracks the grooves is more subtle, has significant impact on the sound and is a major focus of contemporary design engineers. You acknowledge that it is important but at the same time refer to it as a myth. Resonance effects are very real, are what make different turntables sound different and it is obvious to me that engineers do have a reasonable understanding of the science involved, even if it is not yet universally applicable.
