Get better audio quality from your vinyl by upgrading this part

Upgrading a turntable’s stylus improves vinyl audio quality by increasing contact area and reducing distortion. Elliptical, microliner, Shibata, and line-contact styluses offer progressively better detail, with microliners tracking high-frequency inner grooves and line-contact styluses delivering studio-grade fidelity. Switching from a bonded to a nude needle lowers mass, allowing the diamond tip to follow grooves more accurately.
