Thank you.
I guess what you're saying is that *there's no rule*.
The ears have it - whatever sounds best is the right stylus to use.
I have at least 8 sizes and configurations from which to choose: conical,
elliptical, truncated or not truncated.
I also have a GE VRII and the GE RPX-050. Sometimes, those two save the
day.

Ben
