a new tip to compare against will be of help here. This takes skill and experience to have any meaningful optical determination. The square area (per Shure) may not apply with advanced tip shapes. an ML or MR will show much the same reflections until the ridges are worn down enough to contact the shoulder cuts or bottom out in the groove at the tip. all needles would shred your records if this was not the case with any minor wear.Ī true elliptical should last longer than a bi-radial or conical in this respect. The wear is predominately flat but there is a radius adjacent to the flats. Move the light source around to determine the flats from the radius. a point source lighting source (fibre optic) will be of immense aid here. If you flood the lighting with a diffuse source the curved areas will light up and skew your readings. The consensus was if you can hear distortion from stylus wear, your records are already being damaged to some degree. I still have trouble determining stylus wear with this setup.
