  @EMGColonel Thank you so much for this tip. It struck me that if candlewax can reduce the wear of a needle on a record, it certainly should work the other way as well. I am using thornwood needles with my HMV 163. Some records work well with these, whereas others wear down the needle tips too fas...

For those of you who know dance: 1920's Charleston and Argentinian Tango are very different in character, but have some surprising features in common.
