Why not use an arc'ed lathe?

Maybe but true user friendly for we customers. Don't you think?

Once its right at any point on the LP surface its right anywhere else too.

Sounds just like setting up my linear tracker. :^)

Setting up a radial cutter means that you would have to insure that the stylus is set up exactly right at two points on the LP. That would be about 10 times trickier!

Sounds just like setting up my pivot arm !

thanks for sharing that info Atmasphere.

Yes. Now imagine that the difficulty of doing so is 10 times greater and has to be done very 10 hours of use!

Atmasphere: So what?. We are the customers and needs always that any audio item be USER FRIENDLY, thing that almost never happens because manufacturers like you think on the " troubles " and not the customer benefits.

Anyway, perhaps that could be happen never. Maybe the wise idea is to late for it.

Regards and enjoy the music,

'manufacturers like me'??

We've tried really hard to make our stuff plug and play; automated the bias, made it really easy to set up the amp (matched tubes not required) and such. I recognized 30 years ago that stuff has to be easy to use or it will wind up in a closet or worse.

'Manufacturers like me' have got nothing to do with it. If you want to give someone a hard time about it, talk to the lathe manufacturers? What's that?? you don't know any??

Sheesh.
