So what does that mean sound wise with the Shibata stylus? How does changing the resistive loading to raise the high end affect the sound in the lower registers?
Found a specification for the cartridge Onkyo OC410-M for which the DN-25 needle is supposedly intended.

Goldring or Marlux?How does this compare to the specs of the stock Goldring cart?
Goldring or Marlux?
One Marlux goes to me.
wualta, with 2 grams of tracking the combo ES70S&DN-25 is passes Bangles-test for sybilants?
Yes, it does. It impressed me enough to make me seek out other DFR-distributed styli. With one exception, they've been excellent.wualta, with 2 grams of tracking the combo ES70S&DN-25 is passes Bangles-test for sybilants?
Not sure what you're asking, but if you want to know if the compliance of the DN-25 differs from the "standard" ES-70S conical, then yes, but not all that much. Good generic ellipticals (aimed at copying the EX stylus) exist, and track well at 1.5g or a little less. I've never been able to try a genuine Excel EX4 stylus, so if that was your question, I don't know the answer.I was wondering if the suspension was a different compliance as compared to the standard Excel version based on that spec.

The ORTOFON SPU tracking is 3-4 grams and no one is crying. https://www.ortofon.com/spu-royal-gm-mkii-p-459-n-1579I meant in comparison to the EX4. For some reason I thought the Excel version was rated for a lower tracking force than the 2g mentioned in the Onkyo spec posted.
