Hughes round tip Stylus for Edison DD's?

Post by ts_13 »

What is everyone's thoughts on using a Hughes Stylus with a round sapphire stylus to play Edison DD's?

Thoughts on the subject? Thanks as always.

A round sapphire Pathé-style stylus will be too wide to fit into the narrow Diamond Disc groove.

You need a diamond "pointed" stylus to play them...
