What made me wonder was this; I picked up a 45 rpm from a flat surface and my fingernail accidentally scratched the record lightly.
Compared to a diamond stylus a fingernail is as soft as cotton ball, yet records can easily be scratched with one.
So I'm wondering how a record can be played more than a few times and not have the groove ironed out by this unbelievably hard tipped stylus?
