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 record’s 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!

Need a cartridge for these styli?

 

We can wire cartridge for mono if you like for $3.50. Just let us know.

Additional notes:

 Not any one or all custom styli will make the older records sound new, but will assist in making them sound better.
