In the early days, ceramic Elements were used with rotatable needles. At one side a 78rpm one and on the other side a stereo needle. Later, as 78rpm records became rare, this one is sometimes exchanged with another stereo needle, so it became a double stereo stylus.

Popular types of these kind of needles are now standard supplied as double stereo types; on request we still can supply ones with stereo/78rpm needle combination. Less popular types are only supplied in 78/stereo versions.

Package code	Type of needles
SN/SS	Sapphire 78 / Sapphire stereo
SS/SS	Sapphfire stereo / Sapphire stereo
SN/DS	Sapphire 78 / Diamant stereo
SS/DS	Sapphire stereo / Diamant stereo
