So what category does the AudioTechnica and others who use the Shibata Stylus?
For accurate tracing of modern post CD-4 microgroove LPs, any of the line contact tips are preferable to spherical, elliptical, biradial tips.From worst to good... how do you rank the stylus tips? Example: conical, elliptical, MicroLine contact, micro ridge, shibata, etc, etc.?
Earl: I'd rather suggest to remove that chart, as it obviously contains quite a few bugs.

No it's not true unless the stylus us press g harder on the vinyl and making as larger contact area with extra force due to the smaller profile.I don't get it: How can the contact patch of an elliptical be greater than that of a spherical with the same bearing radius? Is this a byproduct of the polishing?
