Why exotic stylus not used on MM?

Is the reason why micro line or similar exotic stylus are not used in MM' s because the tonal balance will shift to higher frequencies?

' 'You should try the LVB 250 stylus' ' İ agree.

" Well I think that you know that both 2M models has the same stylus shape and the difference in quality performance sound is just for the difference in cantilever. But that you already now. R.

But that you already now Yes of course. The Ortofon Shibata is a beautiful example of that stylus type and the boron cantilever is its natural partner IMO (having owned the Jubilee and Cadenza Black). My point was that if @meteu finds the stock 2M Black preferable in some ways to the Kontrapunkt b, then the LVB will provide a similar balance but with more the objective qualities (detail, finesse, soundstaging etc) of the Ortofon MCs. Win/win.
