New Standard Version 3 (V3.0)

Welcome to the new V3.0 standard in stylus replacements where you can hear higher fidelity and exhilarating sound quality in every NSS stylus that you install in your cartridge! The unencumbered polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tip fuses diamond particles thus offering exceptionally high wear resistance factor for longer playing life and and optimal transmission of record groove modulation.

The Nude Schwarz stylus (NSS) raises the bar in stylus performance. For over half a century, the traditional way to craft a stylus, which carries on still today, is to bond the stylus tip to a crown (metal shank) that in turn is bonded to the cantilever. The additional mass, and a different material element in between the diamond tip and cantilever, cause some loss of transient reproduction from the tip to the cantilever. With the Schwarz edition, a nude diamond stylus (a whole diamond) is inserted, fastened and/or glued directly to the cantilever - banishing the need for the crown (metal shank).

 

“Once you go Schwarz, you never go back.”
The NSS styli are the outcome of advanced technology and engineering, human craftsmanship, years of research, testing, and modernizing of specialized stylus machinery. The results?! We believe you will be amazed by its higher fidelity and exhilarating sound quality in every NSS stylus that you install in your cartridge! And once you go Schwarz you never go back!

Below are NSS models in our inventory. We will add new V3.0 models as they become available.
