The conical stylus has been long been undervalued and disparaged as the cheap, low-quality ghetto stylus. We, like Art Dudley of Stereophile, like the sound quality of conical tip styli: It offers a raw and simple sound quality. "It emphasizes musical content over air, allowing instruments and voices to sound more substantial, and music to sound, overall, less fussy than with other tip types." It exposes the beauty of simplicity above complexity..
