My Cartridge needs a new Stylus



Hi Guys, I need to get my stylus replaced on my Supex cartridge and have a question. At this time the cartridge has a Boron Pipe cantilever, The company I decided to do the rebuild, I read good things about, they cannot do the Boron Pipe but can do an aluminum or a sapphire cantilever. My question is, does anyone know if there would be any or what the difference would be in the sound between the cantilevers.

Boron's pretty hard to beat, I would think. Its atomic number is 5, making it lighter than oxygen (8) of aluminum (13). I've never had a sapphire cantilever, but I've been enjoying the boron cantilever on my AT150MLX for eight years now.
