x In doing some cartridge shopping recently I was allowed to peer at some styli through a microscope. Some cartridges appeared to have a metallic covering over the diamond tip, and others actually looked like a diamond. I believe the latter may have been reffered to as a "nude" stylus. Is this true ? and if so, is there a supposed difference in the quality or sound ? Also I ended up buying an Astatic M-300 (or A-300?) - any comments on it ?

I like my Astatic MF200, which I have in the Denon arm that was stock in the SP-30L table when I got it. The newer Denons have a straight arm that doesn't sound as good. The new arm looks to be heavier. -- Ed Gould ucbvax!mtxinu!ed
