Stylus shape?


Is there a generally held opinion on what shape of stylus yields the best sound? I'm speaking of stereo, not mono.

Thank you.

The answer to your question is the line contact shape . It comes with different names as many have mentioned but they are basically the same shape with slightly different contours . They are more dificult to set up correctly but as long as you guide yourself with the same principal as for any other stylus shape you'll be ok , you just have to be more exact .
Eliptical would be #2 and conical #3 . 
Always remember that stylus shape is not the only determining factor in sound quality nor is it the most important but rather it is many factors that when each is placed in its proper place gives you the best performance possible in a given situation
