RE: Stylus life based on stylus type?

I believe the life of a conical diamond stylus is between 500 and 700-hours. With regard to elliptical, it depends on the specific type. Some elliptical styli are simply conical tips with the front and rear face flattened. This type of elliptical will last no longer than a conical in my opinion. The hyper-elliptical or true elliptical should provide at least 1000-hours of play. All line contact styli should provide at least 1000-hours of play or slightly more. However, I think 2000 hours and above is wishful thinking. YMMV

Best regards,
John Elison
