Elleptical styli have an oval shape where spherical ones have a more round shaped needle. For quality purposes, the elleptical wins.

Elleptical styli

also wears out your records faster

the reason i asked was, i was just wondering does it make a big diff?

Elleptical styli: i would assume it does not boost up any frequency but leave them all flat.

where as some spherical ones would make the low frequence (bass) sound deeper, louder heavy or lighter etc....

hope im thinking the right way
but im not too sure.
