RE: Effects of Stylus Profile on Surface Noise

Were you ever disatisfied with your Sty20 for surface noise when it was fresh? It depends very much on the condition of the records and the pressing quality as to how much surface noise you pick up. The STy30 is not very long as far as contact lines go (40um bearing radius) so it is conceivable that you might not experience a signficant difference in background swoosh and it will also depend on your geometric alignment accuracy. The main reason why people say that you DO get reduced surface noise is because you are likely contacting a fresh undamaged portion of the groove. Other than that, the surface noise will be dictated by the vinyl purity and pressing quality. Coloured vinyl and picture discs will be noisier anyway.
