In Reply to: Which vintage mono record? posted by M3 lover on April 15, 2007 at 14:44:59:
Well, most of the mono LPs I have are pre '58, so that means the grooves are 1mil in width. Should I use a 1mil stylus or go with a .7mil and a modern profile to get a part of the groove that maybe has been unplayed all these years ?I understand that mono reissues (except for classic records) use a modified stereo cutting head (hence a modern stylus shape is best suited). Classic uses a restored Westrex mono cutting head from back in the day- unsure about groove width though.
I guess what I am trying to find out is if a 1mil stylus can reproduce all of the transient and HF information in a pre '58 mono groove or is that stylus too massive for this task ?
Thanks,
Ross
