For 17 years I produced & hosted a 90 minute radio program, "Immortal Performances" taken from the name of my used record shop, of classical 78rpm records, plus a few cylinders & diamond discs, for the local classical music FM station & at that time had the means of playing these vintage records adequately, a Shure elliptical 78rpm styli for my Shure V15 Type II cartridge & truncated styli, Pathe sapphire ball styli that also played 2 minute cylinders well & Edison diamond disc styli (to fit a Shure M55E cartridge) obtained from International Observatory Instruments (if I recall correctly) in Tennessee. Now, many years later, most of these styli are damaged or lost & I need to obtain new styli for playing various vintage 78s, Edison diamond discs & both 2 & 4 minute cylinders. Can anyone recommend a current source of such replacement styli for Shure V15Type II, M78S & M55E cartridges? I am contemplating the production of CD reissues of vintage classical records & w ish to obtain the best possible sound from the grooves. Any help with this matter will be much appreciated!
