"When this concentration of pressure upon the points of contact is calculated, we find it to be approximately 26 tons per square inch... The most interesting photos to me described the "infinite" amount of force applied to the groove by the spherical and elliptical stylus designs....Since the contact points are rounded, the contact area is infinitely small, so no matter what the tracking force, the tracking pressure at the point of contact is effectively infinite...At that point you have a hot stylus pressing infinitely hard against vinyl and this can easily create substantial softening (melting is not required, in fact melting is not the mechanism that creates the ripples)....because of the small area of contact that exists between the stylus tip and the groove, the pressure against the groove wall can rise up to many thousands of pounds per square inch."
Raul thank you so much for regurgitating this little piece of fantasy I had forgotten about it entirely you did a fine job with cut and paste cut and paste cut and paste. Of course it is wholly fantasy as it's faulty "logic" is based on "infinite" forces and a contact area that is "infinitely small" if you do not see the humor in this then something was lost in translation and perhaps you should read it again rather than just cut and paste cut and paste cut and paste because of course in the real world of turntables used in Music Reproduction Systems there is no such thing as an infinite anything!
Also Raul if you are going to engage in cut and paste cut and paste cut and paste rather than going to the trouble of actually doing your own arithmetic then you should credit your sources and further when you cut and paste cut and paste cut and paste you might want to be a little less selective in your cut and paste cut and paste cut and paste and include disclaimer language such as one of your sources clearly noted at the top of its page that reprinted this "material":
"Shure makes no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the text."
However I do thank you for supplying what I think will be the biggest laughs I get all week it is truly priceless what you have done here and I now realize that you probably really don't intend it to be taken seriously at all but are using a subtle form of sarcasm/humor to entertain us. Very very nice work but of course if I am mistaken about your motives then you will return to insult me as you have elsewhere in this thread under which circumstances I am quite confident that the moderators in their esteemed judgement will delete your remarks again as they have so many times previously regarding your commentary here.
Infinite! Funny! I track at about 2.1 grams what about you, Raul??? :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) *G* *G* *G* lol!!!
