Ok i have tried to put on some weight on stylus during A5, B4, B5 and now it sounds so much better. -
We gather here today for the funeral of Halftime from Illmatic on this here pressing. -
This sounds really good. Mixed hot so you don’t have to turn it up that much before it gets loud. This is also probably the reason for the sibilance people reference. Yes I had horrible sibilance on Halftime with a 2M Blue - it’s gone with a microline stylus now (AT vm95ml).

-
My copy is good. Very little surface noise, and what is there is easily drown out by the music. Almost no pops/clicks.
Someone else asked about sibilance on Halftime - Yes, my copy has sibilance on this track. -
-
Can anyone tell how the sound qulity is compared to the 2017 Optimal Media version? This one is Pallas.
