Good question. I'm not aware of any current sapphire styli, at least not from the usual places.

Also, I know it is a rebirth of an old technology but the Strain Gauge Cartridge now updated and made by Soundsmith is unique in present manufacture and is neither a MM or MC cartridge and does not rely on RIAA adjustment for a preamp. The curves in the design of the phono preamp simulate the RIAA curves as I recall.

Yeah, I thought about mentioning the strain gauge cartridges, but wanted to keep it simple. But you're right, I should add it there, so I will!
