Replicant 100 stylus
My ''general statement'' that styli are produced by either Ogura or Namiki
may need correction.
Some friends of my ''discovered'' that Replicant (Ortofon), Decca and
''Expert stylus'' are the same. As is/was the case with Gyger and
Van den Hul. Van den Hul designed Gyeger I, II and S (?) but
Gyger produced them. This was obviously kept secret for commercial
reasons.
My assertion is that Expert stylus (Paratrace) provide them to the
other mentioned.
Is anybody capable to check this information?

Dear @mijostyn : some gentlemans really don't know what they are talking about as the one about " jewels " and why designers/manufacturers choice of top cartridges in cantilevers are diamond and boron and for stylus only DIAMOND: period.
I posted in the MM long thread this:

Btw, after 1977 the cartridge stylus are made of synthetic diamond and the last and an exception is the Audio Technica MC 1000 that was the latest cartridge to use natural diamond in the early 80's.
Diamond is not only has hardness cartridge stylus material but the one with the highest Young' Modulus, both mainly and critical characteristics for the cartridge stylus very hard and tortuose works/jobs.
