Micro-Point was one of the pioneers of the 1950’s, manufacturing cutting styli and lacquer discs. Today we (formerley Transco Blanx) are proud to bring this iconic name back to where it belongs — at the forefront of today’s vinyl/cutting technology and high-end moving coil playback cartridges. Transco/Micro-Point has been supplying cutting styli to the worlds mastering studios and pressing plants since the 80’s — That’s over 35 years and currently enjoys the no:1 status. read more...
Micro-Points’ new U.K. Vinyl Mastering Testing and Research Facility in South Godstone, Surrey has received considerable investment transforming it into a state of the art facility.
At the heart of this transformation is a 1962 Scully Lathe 601. Originally commissioned for Capitol Records the lathe was used to cut all the Beatles early work up to the 1970s for U.S. distribution, after which it was sadly mothballed in favour of the new Neumann Lathe. The Scully remained in retirement in Southern California protected by the dry heat and a liberal coating of nicotine...
We at Bernie Grundman Mastering have recently tested the new Micro -Point WSH-2 cutting stylus for Westrex type cutting heads. Without question the quality is outstanding. Quiet and clear accurate sound that will now make all our masters. Excellent product.

I have long been an admirer of Adamant (now Micro-Point) recording styli. Their consistency, durability, build quality and above all their sound quality are second to none. Even when I had a choice, I would always go for Adamant (famously I refused to do a job when I needed a new stylus and we only had Transco in the store). They are the ONLY styli that I have ever fitted in my customised lathe since it was installed over 3 ½ years ago. Micro-Point are the unrivalled styli that always deliver the sound quality across all record formats (LP as well as 7” & 12” singles) that I require and that my clients demand.

To meet our customers demand for excellence and to deliver on schedule, we need to work with totally reliable products. NSH-2 and NSH-2S guarantee clean grooves and excellent wear characteristics. And the addition of cutting styli for Westrex heads is welcomed. I have a fantastic relationship with John Rooke for a lot of years based on confidence and trust.

I finished testing the WSH-2S Micro-Point Cutting Stylus for Westrex yesterday, it is REALLY impressive. The reproduced cut translates very well to the source. There is less exaggerated bottom end, greater sense of stereo width and clearer, cleaner top end.
