Thanks for the reply. I did buy a Kyowa stylus for my M44E cartridge. It sounds very good but comparing it now with a perfect the Shure N44 the Kyowa is not as sensitive (to my ears anyway). I'm not sure that is the correct audiophile term but the Sure seems to pick out more detail, including small flaws on the disc.

Unfortunately the original N44E shown in your second link is listed as "NIET MEER LEVERBAAR!" (no longer available) which is why I was wondering if the damaged Shure one could be repaired.

Every stylus retailer sells N44E's. You can also use N55E's if you can track at a lower VTF.
I think Musonic is closer to where you live.

You should check out the N55E. It states 0.2 x 0.7. More likely it is an 0.3 x 0.7.
