By the way, a 1-mil stylus often produces better results than a .7 mil on 
Mercury mono LPs. I'm just listening to MG 40011, Eastman Symphonic Winds, 
over-cut and running practically onto the label on Side 2, and it sounds pretty 
darned fabulous even at the end. I had quite a bit of breakup with the .7 (not 
always the case with mono LPs but sometimes the wider point makes a difference).
