High quality DIAMOND stereo needle type TONAR STYLUS H-FLIP
Material: diamond
Cut: Hyperlelliptical
The hyperelliptical needle shape - also known as "line contact" in technical jargon - was developed to complement the conventional elliptical cut. The contact zone of the hyperellipse to the plate groove is three to four times larger than with an elliptical diamond cut. This design distributes the pressure in the plate groove more evenly, thus reducing wear on the diamond and vinyl. In addition, these diamonds are usually significantly reduced in mass and are delivered carefully polished. This enables a better reproduction of higher to highest frequencies, as this cut follows even the finest deflections of the groove more precisely.
Spherically ground needles are a good choice for those whose hearing is not so audiophile trained and who like to play their records from time to time. Although they don't deliver quite as high-caliber sound as elliptical needles, they sit better in the groove and are therefore ideal for beginners and experimental DJs who value high groove stability. These styli are robust and offer a solid performance when playing records.
Elliptically ground needles are a high-quality option for turntables that bring out the best sound potential from records. Their precise elliptical shape allows them to accurately scan the grooves and deliver a clear and detailed sound. These styli are ideal for audiophiles and music lovers who appreciate the highest sound quality. Although they can put a little more strain on the vinyl, elliptically ground styli offer an impressive listening experience for discerning music lovers.
