It's just clicked, are you referring to the astoundingly left field Arthur Salvatore? Who rates music entirely on sound quality and sod the performance?
Stupid idea of the decade: I wondered in a stupor whether it might be possible to re-polish almost any profile to form a spherical on a DIY basis ? The half baked idea would be to have a polishing record, not made of vinyl and of as large a radius as would fit, with just one groove that swept in a sine shape once per revolution between outer and inner radius and polished out the wear flats?
And the B side could form the correct base profile?
Just leave it on the platter and play it at normal VTF for 30 mins...……
I shall fetch my own coat.

Well, amateurs used to grind their own (spherical not parabolic, I should think) mirrors for Newtonian reflecting telescopes.
Geometrical considerations aside, I don't think achieving a high degree of polish on a diamond (or on any hard bearing for that matter) is a trivial matter. I believe that Expert Stylus co. gained their expertise in defence and medical work initially.

Well I can't argue with that. HP had some 'interesting' views on that. I am happy to have left the sonic spectaculars behind in return for finding performances I like. Almost worse for the wallet than chasing the superdisks tho .
As we have seen what can be explained by linishing occuring on the distortion tests George did I think there is merit in that. But with a retip costing £55 for a conical polished by the experts at expert I do wonder over the cost/benefit trade off.

Miyajima uses conical stylus for higher price mono cartridges and Shibata for stereo cartridges.
I've been doing some comparison between SC35C (as it comes), Goldring 1040 (with an Expert 0.001 stylus) and Denon 103 (as it comes). All performed well with material from 1950 to 1958. The Denon wins hands down on detail but might seem too bright for some on the earlier records. There wasn't a lot of difference between the Shure and the Goldring.
