Sapphire needles from Saint-Petersburg

Hi, trolls.

I've discovered needles on Ebay.
Anyone tried these ?

Affordable price. But it hash't been tested yet. And they write that it can be used in most of MONO cutter heads.

In the first LINK looks like it is a needle similar to needle for Neumann SX74 head.

Few questions to honorable trolls.

Can i cut stereo with these needles?
Any other online shops where i can get some needles already tested? Preferably affordable price. Deep bass and nice treble needed.
Anyone tried to develop a needle on his/her own in partnership with goldsmiths or whoever can create such thing?

With gratitude, Jeka Tallbot.

hello, i have used these needles and have had good results with them.
i cut plastic picnic plates with a Presto K8 with 5c cutting head.


other people seem to not like the result.

but i like how they sound if you get the proper eq and level dialed in.

if you do a search on the forum there is a thread about them. i believe under russian cutting stylus or something.

the seller is on this forum as well.

very low price for the Russian knives, for starters, you need to buy at least 10 pieces, the stone is a stone, it will be the same as hard as a knife for $ 350, I think it's worth experimenting with these knives

Please notice, in the price list a transco saphire stylus costs about 110$!

I buyed two of alexstations stylus. One with a big tip-radius and one without(why?)! I don't found any material to get them work without terrible noise. (realy unhearable)
I wanna know if I can get any payable saphir stylus in europe. The ebay steel stylus I buyed are realy bad grinded (my were not usable). People make easy money with the misery of the poor offer of cutting stylus. (I don't mean Alexstation)

buy a ones new plate master lacquer Apollo, buy a knife Russian for $ 10, set at an angle of 8 degrees, press the knife on the plate 25 grams, cut silent groove. There are no miracles, everything is very simple. Do not even try to cut a good groove on other materials, there will be you who says otherwise is a liar and a cheat!
