Re: [ARSCLIST] Lossy compression losing quality (was Re: [ARSCLIST] Pristine Audio and the Milllennials . . .)

Shures are excellent but they don't manufacture the SS35E stylus any more. I'm 
hoarding the few I have. I also use Stanton because I got a wider variety of 
tips for that one, but the Shure is my only choice for Diamond Discs and 
transcriptions. On t'other hand, the 2.0 or 2.1 mil truncated elliptical stylus 
for the Stanton 500 will track Pathes without leaving the groove.
