It may look like Nandric philosophical exercise but it is about
parts , wholes and langugage we use to describe their
''connections''. The part in casu is cantilever. There are comparisons
expressed as ''better than relation'' : a > b> c >...n. But whatever
the properties of whatever cantilever it is the whole of the
cartridge that determine its ,say, ''value''. By MC kinds one can
state that all are ''composed of the same parts''. The parts are
produced by different companies while all producers and repair
services use the same cantilever/stylus combo. That is to say
that nobody produce his own cantilever/stylus combo. So one
can state putting together al (same) parts is the whole story.
However we recognize that, say, Ikeda, Takeda, Van den Hul,
Allearts , Lukatschek and Mori ''adds'' something of their own to
the ''whole cart''. They ''tune'', ''listen'' and try to improve the sound
of their carts in , say, ''some special way''. This we can name
''the art of the master''. So the question ''who made the cart''
become one of the criterions to judge.
