Hi,
I'm just about finished rebuilding v2 of my system, however this time I'd like to do some cutting rather than embossing. Looking at the options available on myshank, I see they typically offer three options per stylus type: S, P and Synthetic.
Can someone explain the difference to me? In particular:
- the P seems to have increased back-angle, but what does that actually get me?
- what is it about the synthetic that makes it better?
Thank you.

Quoting from the website:
P = Increased back angle to get the best longevity on hard blank records.
Synthetic = Longest life compared to a natural diamond stone (+ 50%).

Managed to miss that somehow.
Thank you.
Thank you.
