do microline styli have problems with 45s

i heard in the past that conical stylus is best for 45s and i dunno if a microline or shibata might accidentally break it (yeah im thinking about that for if i buy the used audiotechnica despite owning 2 7inches)

Maybe styrene 45s, but I think pretty much everything shreds those. If that's a major concern you'll probably want a conical cartridge especially for that format. No point in compromising all the rest of your listening in the process.

oh i have absolutely no styrene 45s

i dont care much for 7 inches unless they are EPs and most modern good EPs are on vinyl so the microline will be fine (or the nagaoka)

This is for real. I have watched Zu auctions get out of hand many times. My advice is to set a limit and place one bid for that limit as late as possible. Don't worry if you get outbid, because Zu will [might?] post the item again. Patience will eventually get you the item at a reasonable price.

EDIT: Zu might be running low on their supply of Mission-RCA Mk. 1 interconnect cable, as they haven't posted anything longer than 1.0m since May 8.

Well, I'm the current winning bid on the auction closing in 2 hours and 30 minutes 🤷‍♂️ :)

And? I see someone won for the reasonable price of $65.00, considering the last ten or so cables sold. That someone has a feedback score of 2, which sounds like someone who's bought 4 things on ebay.

The disaster is that bidder with a feedback of 135, who clearly doesn't understand how automatic bidding works. Sheesh.
