I like the inclusion of font size as another possible indicator.

Yes I notice that now but I read "genuine Empire S300ME" two times. Then the link to TTN refers to genuine Empire stylus (+$).

I've seen this item a couple of times. Note the dot on cantilever. Makes me wonder about the old switcharoo of styus guard? Hmmmm....... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323398553534

If you do that you just get 1. .

Pt ll, still weeping. Ohms from a different meter before. Just put Deoxit on this one.

Read um and weep redux pt l

Yes I will remeasure shortly. I have remeasured over and over already. Just think I and many others were buying styli purely by model stated on the blobs...tssk tssk.

Good info! And yea for me re: my 66 series styli. My best decription when you get the Empire body/stylus combo right is "real". Breathing, living real vs dry, analytical real. I also have several chunkies. My best stylus for them is S44E . The lowly S100S can also give very good sound and make a...

A shout out to Boreas also. Thank you. So as I was thinking all my blobs except QX2005 and 2000x measure wacky

RE: VTF. Have also recently aquired digital VTF gauge. I will no longer trust readings from tone arm. Especially on spring based units like Dual and BIC.

Recently I aquired a higher loft blob clip. Mid loft? Note it has a pimple instead of a hole. I also noticed on one of the black clips the rear end touches table top and all others very close in height from surface.
