The Hardest Naturally Occurring Substance on Earth


Yep - You all know from grammar school that is the diamond, which incidentally is what is used to make the stylus of our turntable cartridges.  If it is so hard, and it is going up against some fairly soft vinyl, why do we worry about poor quality LPs damaging the cartridge or stylus?  Sure, I understand the cantilever, but the actual Stylus?  The old phrase for me is "Does Not Compute".   What are your thoughts and insights?

geoffkait,

Always quick on the trigger, always shootng in the dark. Nothing new and it does not matter. Hey, New, Dark, and Matter.

I thought that New Dark Matter will remain relevant as people will need topics to joke about.
Still trying to copy my style. I can always tell when you get overly excited. Have you been huffing glue again?
