I'd recommend against it. The only times I've cue-burned a record (well, since about age 12, with a worn-out GE RPX) were when using OM-30 or -40 styli. I haven't had any problems with the elliptical OM-20.

Also, the -40 is ruthlessly revealing. You may find that it cures sibilance on some records while exacerbating poor mastering on others. Don't get me wrong, I love them for listening, and for archiving. But the OM-20 doesn't give up much in the way of detail, while offering a smoother presentation for harsh-sounding discs. Not to mention replacements are much cheaper should you have any unfortunate incident...

I suspect not too many audiophiles show up to critique the sound at a typical wedding anyway. Most I've attended, the sound is crap. My own PA speakers are nowhere near as refined as the old Paradigms in my front room at home. But I commend your efforts to improve the experience for your clients. Or just for your own pleasure, whatever...

Best,
Mike
