NSS?C LP GEAR UPGRADE REPLACEMENT FOR SONY N-6516 (N6516) stylus

The conical stylus has been long looked down on and disparaged as the ghetto stylus. We, like Art Dudley of Stereophile, like the sound quality of conical tip styli: It offers a raw and simple sound quality. "It Ct over air, allowing instruments and voices to sound more substantial, and music to sound, overall, less fussy than with other tip types." It raises the beauty of simplicity above complexity..

The Nude Schwarz stylus (NSS) raises the performance of conicals and all stylus tip types even further! For over half a century, the traditional way to craft a stylus, which carries on still today, is to bond the stylus tip to a crown (metal shank) that in turn is bonded to the cantilver. The additional mass, and a different material element in between the diamond tip and cantilever, cause some loss of nuance in transmitting groove modulation from the tip to the cantilever. With the Schwarz edition, a nude diamond stylus (a whole diamond) is inserted, fastened and/or glued directly to the cantilever - banishing the need for the crown (metal shank).
