The Adamant Micro-Point stylus NSH-2S

[Phinster]

Hi..I know there aren't very many pro cutters using Neumann SX 74 heads on this site, but has anyone used one of
these styli yet? They happen to be dark red as opposed to the older Adamant ones which were clear..
Just wondering...Cheers!

Besides the color thing is there something special about them?
Or are you afraid that you got an old stock Transco in a Adamant Box?

If it were one of the last Transco made before the unfortunate 'fire' at the factory..I'd be very happy. After decades of recording styli wearing only 20 or 30 hrs,

these were pure corundum and lasted months...I'll have to bite the bullet, install it, and keep me fingers crossed!
