High End cartridges and the built quality


I had some cartridges in the past with some quality failure. Only one, an EMT was perfectly built.

Here some pictures of Lyra Skala and Kleos cantilivers/diamonds:

I think in this price range not acceptable.

I know a Dynavector Xv-1s with the same problems.
128x128ninetynine
Wow, is all I can say.

Back in the day we would have never known. These tools in the hands of consumers are going to mandate a change from manufacturers.
Those are some great pictures.
We all strive and look for perfection in not only what we do but also in what we buy. But nothing is perfect. I'm not saying the pictures of the styli orientations are acceptable. But I do wonder just what is 'acceptable'?
What are the tolerances allowed. Is it + or - 1 degree? Perhaps it is 5 degrees? I don't know. I'm someone with knowledge in this regard can clarify this a bit.
Sorry for the typo

My last statement should have read I'm hoping someone with knowledge in this regards can clarify this a bit
Regards,
All producers get those cantilever/styli combo's from their
suppliers. This means that quolity controll is questionable
on both sides.
