Welcome Back Old Friend!
No wonder I appreciated the sound of this Nagaoka N97ED replacement stylus for Shure cartridges!
I recently discovered it is a nude elliptical tip on a telescopic cantilever shank.
I paid almost nothing for it just to test if a Shure Me97HE Encore body I got for free was working. One of my best Hifi bargains ever.
This led me to appreciate Shure cartridges more so now I’m running a wonderful Shure M97 Era IV body with this Nagaoka replacement. It is not hyper elliptical as the M97 could require, but it sounds amazing!

Owl Nebula (M97)
The Comet, the Owl, and the Galaxy
Comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak poses for a Messier moment in this telescopic snapshot from March 21, 2017. In fact it shares the 1 degree wide field-of-view with two well-known entries in the 18th century comet-hunting astronomer's famous catalog. Sweeping through northern springtime skies just below the Big Dipper, the faint greenish comet was about 75 light-seconds from our fair planet. Dusty, edge-on spiral galaxy Messier 108 (bottom center) is more like 45 million light-years away. At upper right, the planetary nebula with an aging but intensely hot central star, the owlish Messier 97 is only about 12 thousand light-years distant though, still well within our own Milky Way galaxy. Named for its discoverer and re-discoverers, this faint periodic comet was first sighted in 1858 and not again until 1907 and 1951. Matching orbit calculations indicated that the same comet had been observed at widely separated times. The comet 41P orbits the Sun with a period of about 5.4 years. Credit: Barry Riu
Days of Messier: M97, the Owl Nebula
One of Pierre Méchain’s 1781 discoveries, this planetary nebula has been known as the Owl since the 1840s. Estimated to be 8,000 years old, the nebula is composed of three concentric shells: the remains of a dead star.
The precise distance to M97 is uncertain—different astronomers give different estimates, ranging from 1,300 light years to 12,000, with most sources in the vicinity of 2,000. Such a value would give the nebula’s diameter as slightly less than 2 light years.
