REK-O-KUT ARCHIVAL ELLIPTICAL STYLUS KIT
Custom Six-Pak

Using styli of various sizes to
overcome noise in
records caused by wear and abuse
is a
common technique. Older records
often require
larger tips for standard play.
The kit consists of
five elliptical and one conical
Stanton 500
compatible, 2 - 5 Gram tracking
diamond styli of
various sizes. Our only
competition would
charge $900.00 minimum for six
such styli. Our
price is $450.00
PINCH EFFECT
Conical tipped styli have a difficult
time following wide side-to-side
motions of the groove with high
frequencies. The groove narrows at
transitions and tends to
pinch at the
stylus, especially at the
records inner
diameter. This is a cause of
distortion. An elliptical stylus easily
follows these side-to-side motions.
ELLIPTICAL
OPERATING HINTS
Most vintage recordings to not
have to be played with any particular stylus, but they were made
to be played with certain
standard styli. 78s and radio transcriptions require a coarse groove
stylus (approx 3 mil).
You should choose the stylus
that provides the best overall sound.
Here are some
recommendations to start with:
D5120EJ - 2.0 mil (Orange
color front square) - worn Lps, some transcriptions.
D5125EJ - 2.5 mil (Yellow
color front square) - some 78's, many transcriptions.
D5130EJ - 3.0 mil (Red color
front square) - most 30's-50's slightly worn 78s & transcriptions.
D5135EJ - 3.5 mil (Blue color
front square) - old or worn 78s, transcriptions.
D5140EJ - 4.0 mil (Green
color front square) - very old or worn discs, raw aluminum, RCA home recordings.
DJ5180J - 8.0 mil (White color front square) - RCA home recordings, and Pathe discs.
Price (ROKAESK): $450.00. Includes 6 styli listed above!
