I am the OP, so it was my fantasy not @dover .

It is not “tangency”, but the walking of the point across the platter dues the arc of the tone arm.

But as was pointed out in the very opening post it amounts to “a bee’s phallus” amount of shift… I used the term, “it is not much”.

(Where “Bee’s _ick” is the Australian slang term for “a small and almost immeasurable amount”. I believe that the UK uses the acronym of “SFA”.)

My main claim was that I found it “somewhat interesting”.

What is more interesting now, is that we do not agree whether it is truely happening, or just a fantasy.
And also that my communication likely uses a lot of body language and hand motion to describe physical things.

It bears repeating. This was very cool discussion to me. It begs the observation of even daily life. We see what we see, but do we?

  Thanks so much for keeping civil a topic that was entertaining and informative.

What you’re describing is tangency, I don’t know why you’re not comfortable with the word commonly used to describe this aspect of pickup arm geometry. Tangency has zero effect on freqeuncy (pitch). But I’m done with this conversation - the question you’ve raised is easily answered several ways, as I’ve already pointed out.

@cleeds I am not comfortable with the word, because

1. It is the wrong word.
2. Tangency does not affect pitch.

According to audio technical what we are talking about is not tangency:

The term “translocation” was used earlier, and that at least is not able to be easily confused with the stylus being parallel to the track, or tangent with the track… which is what “tangency” commonly refers to.
