@slyka @miunau does the difference in material hardness make a significant difference?
Edit even before tooting: 🤯 looking up material hardness brought me to a fascinating read on styli where I learned that at the high end they're made *with the direction of the crystal structure of the diamond factored in*. https://thevinylpress.com/the-finish-line-for-your-phonograph-stylus/
