    Hard to be sure, but I can't see polished areas or signs of flats on the minor radius of the diamond, so I reckon it's likely to be OK.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Going by your photos it looks OK to me. What type of stylus is it?

    What we need is a photo taken fully "square on" to the front of the stylus, so any asymmetrical wear can be assessed.

    Jamie,

    The magnification is too low to tell if this is worn. The classic Shure SEK-2 stylus microscope uses 120 x magnification to look at the stylus tip end on
