.....it seems that the line contact stylii made for most of the major cartridge manufacturers are made by Namiki, Ogura or van den Hul, resulting in profiles that are more similar than different.
Flood gives a great overview however I would add that too low a tracking force can cause a cartridge to lose contact with the groove wall, causing far greater damage than too high a tracking force.
Vinyl records seem to hold up pretty well to abuse; if they didn't we probably wouldn't relish the sound of those Columbia six-eyes from the late 50s and early 60s, though it may be argued that line contact stylii are playing a different part of the groove.
Life's too short for me to worry about such things though.
