''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum
The ''identity enigma'' is easy to explain with ''ownership''. Not everyone is familiar with logic or philosophy but everyone owns something or other.
Ownership assume ''one to one relation'' between an person (legal
bodies included) and one object of ownership. Think of question how
you can prove to own some object. You can also think about question
how to prove to be owner of, say an part of your stolen car.
What the ''force'' of the expression ''original'' is , is an enigma.
However Americans are typical example of people who are very
fond of ''original parts'' and willing to pay huge amount of money
for the ''precious'' (grin). By the so called ''retips'' the assumption
is also ''original'' versus ''not original parts''. This means that
every manufacturer as well ''retiper'' uses his own styli and or
cantilevers. The fact however is that they all buy those ''parts''
by either by Namiki or Ogura. So, logicaly speaking, the origin
of those ''parts'' are either Namiki or Ogura. Is gluing an cantilever/
stylus combo in the ''joint pipe'' rocket science?
Dear pindac, Nice theoretic thesis. But the question is how many people can afford , say, 4th level cartridges? If our task is to stimulate young people to join us I think dover's ''poem'' about Denon 103 D is of most importance. I do not think ''inductive'' that is from my personal situation and than composing general statements. Would ''sound'' like Marlene Ditrich or Marie Antoinete. I own + 70 carts among which very rare kinds.

best-groove, Not sure what you mean with ''What'' but if you are ''stunned'' by my guess that dover and I have ''the same'' taste I need to mention that I also own Ikeda's 9 Rex (cantileverless) kind as well Takeda's Miyabi. If in addition dover also owns some of the FR-7 kinds then it should be obvious that we at least share some ''the same'' cartridges.

@nandric I only understood from the last sentence that the retip styles provided by Namiki and Ogura are the same ones that are applied to the manufacturers’ cartridges or something similar. |
