EMT JSD 5 or JSD 6?

The styli difference. The so called Gyger kinds (GygerI,II and S) are the same as the so called Van den Hul styli. The case is that Van den Hul designed all Gyger styli.
Reto Andreoli (Magic Diamond) is the only one, as far as I know, who criticized this kind of styli. The new 'fine line' by EMT is their own design based on the different material for 'cutting' the grooves and actual records material. The study of the later caused Andreoli's remarks. I myself prefer the later TSD 15 'Gold' with fine line above the 'old' TSD with Gyger II as well the LZi which is the low output of the TSD 15 model.

Hi Fjn04,

Maybe i make some pictures tonight.

Nandric, do you know where the Gyger and Super Fineline cantiliver-diamond is manufactured?

Ninetynine, The old Fritz Gyger established Gyger company
in Bern , Switzerland. Styli production was a small part
of the company with questioanable profits. But he asked Van
den Hul to design a modern stylus for his company. Van den
Hul designed first the Gyger I with the vertical radius of
85 microns and the horizontal radius of only 2 microns. This
stylus was very difficult to produce so Van den Hul designed
Gyger II with 40 microns vertical and 7 microns horizontal.
This stylus was also difficult to produce so the 3th version
was the 'S' stylus. I am not sure if Gyger is still in business.
My friend Axel Schurholz (re-tip service) is not
able to order any from Gyger. In his stock he still has some
but those are bought long ago. EMT is obviously also out of
their stock so there are no new EMT carts with Gyger styli
available. Lukatschek from Benz also changed his styli and
use instead of Gyger 'S' the micro ridge (from Japan).
I have no idea who produces the fine line for the EMT.
