The cost of a replacement stylus is in the manufacturing, not the
materials. There are brand-new mass-produced styli for microgroove
records available at around 30 UKP - but I've just paid over 90 UKP for
a specialised one for 78s. For an even more specialised L.P. profile I
was quoted 120 UKP.

Liz, can you recommend any genuinely good, high quality stylus/cartridge manufacturers in Yurp currently? Preferably English or Scandinavian?

They had no choice. That was back in the days when natural diamonds were
the only game in town, De Beers controlled the price of these gems and
only Superman could make them artificially (from lumps of coal IIRC).

seen is they will pay around $ 100 for about 6 feet of some special wire
to go from the eqipment to the AC receptical. Little good that does
when there is 20 to 50 feet of cheap copper or even aluminum cable from
there to the breaker box and other junk cable back to the power pole.
Not sure about the diamonds usen in the record players but industrial diamonds aver vey cheap. It is just the stuff they can sell to women
that they get a large amount of money for. Had it not been for them to convience women they needed them they would still be very cheap cmpaired
to what they are now.

I don't really know much about the esoteric end of the L.P. market, but
a good general-purpose workhorse would be something from the Shure 75 or
44 range (but they are American). The person to ask is Paul Hodgson of Expert Stylys Co. but his prices are not cheap as the styli are made individually on the premises.

Very true. Likewise speaker cable. I managed to get *very* many yards of excellent low-loss 50 ohm millimetre wave coax cable at a very reasonable price from some audiophool who'd been using it as speaker cable. He must
have had incredible hearing, that guy. ;->
