    The stroke looks nice and even. You may want to try to incorporate a little X into the stroke, but if this is working for you, not a have to. The other thing is that the new Norton 4K side still sounds a little grainy. Have you lapped it yet?? I really believe you need to take the new ones down about 1/8 inch to get past the granular feeling.

    Keep up the good work,

    Lynn
