"also user-replaceable"

The stylus typically has either a hemispherical (known as "conical") diamond tip for playing monophonic recordings or for rugged use, or an elliptical diamond tip for playing stereo or binaural records. Specially-profiled tips (such as "line contact" tips) are intended to track the record groove even more accurately than an elliptical tip, but styli with such tips are expensive.
