RE: Soundsmith OLC vs LC stylus comparison?

I have had both, although on different cartridges, and I can safely say the OLC tip is significantly more fussy about setup.

So fussy, in fact that when I put the cartridge with the OlC tip on the tonearm, despite having done it several times in the past, I am never quite sure it is set up optimally.

The OLC, according to Soundsmith is extremely sensitive to azimuth set up.
and this has been my experience.

In fact, the next time I have a spare $250.00 I am going to send the cartridge to Soundsmith for the ruby LC option.

Does the OLC sound $100 better than the LC? I dunno, I am never sure I am hearing it correctly set up.
