he V15VxMR
(See illustrations on inside back cover.)
The Micro-Ridge diamond tip and the beryllium stylus
cantilever of the V15VxMR combine to achieve the
highest trackability and most detailed and accurate
playback possible, allowing the listener to hear musical
sounds that were previously hidden in the record
grooves. The use of these and other design features of
the V15VxMR result in the most accurate tracing of a
phonograph record groove yet obtained.

and benefits:

T
rackability
is the stylus' ability to stay in contact with
the record groove walls at a given tracking force. The
most demanding signals on a record are usually
high-level, high-frequency sounds and sharp
transients. Mistracking of any signal can cause record
groove damage that permanently reduces future
reproduction accuracy.
Trackability can be improved by increasing stylus
tracking force at the expense of record and stylus tip
wear. The V15 achieves high trackability without
making these sacrifices.
