In doing some cartridge shopping recently I was allowed to peer at some 
styli through a microscope.  Some cartridges appeared to have a metallic 
covering over the diamond tip, and others actually looked like a diamond.
I believe the latter may have been reffered to as a "nude" stylus.  Is this
true ? and if so, is there a supposed difference in the quality or sound ?
Also I ended up buying an Astatic M-300 (or A-300?) - any comments on it ?
