What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo


In the so called 'MM thread' J. Carr explained the differences between cantilever materials.The advantage of aluminum cantilever being that the stylus can be pressure
fitted while by the so called 'exotic cantilevers' the stylus need to be glued in the cantilevers. There are different conditions which the cantilever need to satisfy
in order to ,uh, satisfy the preferences of an designer. J. Carr also explained why he prefers boron cantilevers. Now I own the Sony XL 88 as well as the Sony XL 88 D.
'D' referring to the cantilever and stylus made from one piece of diamond. But here is my confusion. Both carts have the same 'generator' and also the same technical specs. But 'soundwise' they are as different as an Lada and an Ferrari (by way of speaking or by exaggeration). The comparisson between French wines as well between the French chief cooks come to mind.BTW the pudding will also do. Without any technical pretenitons I would think that the only explantion for the mentioned difference should be the diamond cantilever/stylus combo. If it was possible I would gladly retip my chosen MC carts with such cantilever/ stylus combo and pay, say, $1500 for the jewel. Now if there is demand then there should be supply? The question is if there is 'interesting demand' for the possible producer(s)?

Dear slaw, I learned from Frege, the German logician&

mathematician that if one has an clear thought he can express his

thought clearly. Those who say to lack words to express whatever

confuse dictionary with thinking.  That I am not able to understand 

your post may mean that I am not sufficient intelligent to ''grasp''

your thought or that you are not able to express your though

clearly. You obviously considered only the first mentioned possibility.

@nandric ,

I almost bought in to your logic except for the fact that all I'm wondering about is how a one-piece diamond cantilever/stylus is manufactured? That's all.

Dear slaw, there are diamond cutters and polisher for ages.

You probably have no rich members in you family (grin)

Alas I am neither of those two. Anyway this is may suggestion

for your search.

Anyone can post a picture of so called "one piece diamond stylus combo" ? I know that SONY announced them as one piece, indeed, back in the day. I'd like to see it 

This is the only Diamond cantilever that i have. Is it one piece or two pieces ?
