This stylus grants listeners the ability to spin classic 10\" 78 RPM records without damaging the record’s physical properties. The RS78 can be installed on the Rainier, Olympia, Moonstone and Wellfleet Moving Magnet cartridges, and allows owners of these fantastic cartridges to easily play back 78 RPM shellac recordings safely and with great care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSumiko advises to not play 78rpm records with a diamond stylus as they are intended to track the microgrooves of 33s and 45s, as it will sound poor and cause undue harm to the disc (and potentially the cartridge). Sumiko have developed RS78 for this very reason. The stylus tracks the grooves properly and reduces the risk of harm to vinyl records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRainier, Olympia \u0026amp; Moonstone are stereo moving magnet phono cartridges meaning that their normal job is to transcribe two channels (left and right) of musical information. When using RS78 with any of these cartridges, what you’ll hear is the one channel of musical information (mono) of the 78 in both stereo channels. For audiophile purposes as it pertains to 78s, a true mono cartridge with a 78-appropriate stylus delivers the highest quality sonics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sumiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62939615854979,"sku":"21774","price":179.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9356\/6595\/files\/21774-1SumikoRS78Stylus.jpg?v=1792511685","url":"https:\/\/soundcrafthifi.com\/products\/sumiko-amethyst-replacement-stylus-copy","provider":"Soundcraft Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
