78 stylus for Shure M55e?

[redondo2018]

I have a few 78's that I've never listened to (including an Elvis and Sinatra), and a M55e on my Dual 1219 (which plays 78's). Wondering if anyone has any opinions on this LP Gear stylus https://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LG&Product_Code=SHN055W vs the one on VOM https://www.thevoiceofmusic.com/cat...ype=MfgNameNeedles&MfgName=Shure&Categories=?

Price is about the same. LP Gear one says "stylus is made in Japan by a world-class manufacturer" and the VOM is Swiss. I've never played a 78 in my life - is it really going to matter that much which of these I get? Other options out there?

It's probably going to be a case of "six of these, half a dozen of the other". I have several different Pfanstiehl Swiss 3 mil styli and they are all fine. I have one or two Japanese EVGs that are also fine. I never tried one from LP Gear, so I can't comment on what they sell, though.

It is in the wrong thread. You should start your own thread instead of cluttering up someone else's with something totally off topic.

You might actually get an answer to your question that way, too.

Swiss N44-3 stylus works well for this job. Jico's is excellent also. I use the Swiss N44-3 for 78 RPM duty on my Dual 1010, installed in my Fisher Custom Electra console.

Ended up ordering the Swiss on from VOM as I also wanted to buy a nude elliptical for my M91ED, so saved on shipping over the LP Gear one at any rate. Looking forward to trying out the 78s.
