A stylus is also the needle on the headshell of a turntable's tonearm. It carries the sound frequencies encoded in the grooves of the vinyl through the tonearm, to the mixer. From there the sound moves through the mixer to the receiver, then finally, out through the speakers. Hope you have decent speakers, or the stylus started this amazing chain of events for nothing.
Feel that rhythm , move through your system (Jark Prongo!).
You want different types of stylii for different types of music. For house, trance and progressive techno, use a stylus that targets high and mid-range frequencies well. For drum & bass, choose a stylus that picks up more of the low range frequencies.
