''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?

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. |
Rephrasing the points made: The myth of ''original parts'', ''identity confusion'' and ''misunderstanding of retips''. 1.''Original parts'' presuppose not only the method of their idetification but also of their importance. Neither is made clear. 2. ''Identity'' : no identity without an entity or ''object'' . Names are assumed to provide the reference. But ''fake names'' are not . 3. Retips, aversion against retips is based on false assumptions: that manufacturer use their own unique styli while retipers use some other (not original) kinds. Our general statement is that both use ''the same'' styli produced ether by Ogura or Namiki as a combo with the cantilever. The question than is , is gluing this combo in the ''joint pipe'' (aluminum part of the cantilever) better done by the manufacturer or retiper as well why? The other thread about Replicant as ''third party'''deed not deliver relevant information.
