A brilliant idea realised to perfection:
DIASA
Our patented Diamond Phonograph Point on a Sapphire Shaft.
- Sapphire Shank
- Bond
- Elliptical Diamond Tip
So far over 1 million Diamond Sapphire (DIASA) styli have been mounted into top-class cartridges Due to the low specific weight of sapphire (3.9) we are in a position to produce a phonograph point-elliptical or conical design--with exceptionally low dynamic mass.
The very narrow tolerances in diameter and length render the setting of the styli into the holder possible with a maximum of precision.
We are also in a position to offer the following high-quality articles produced in our own works:
Diamond Phonograph Styli with a stainless steel shank Holders for styli manufactured out of the lightest possible aluminum tubes, mounted or unmounted.
- Diamond Styli
- Aluminum Tube
Our standard measurements for phonograph styli are:
0.010" x .020" long R.0007"
0.012"x.025"-.040" long R.0007"
0.016" x .040" - .060" long R.0007"
