The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position
This question is for Dover. I would prefer our ''heighest authority'' Carr but
am reluctant to bather his with possible silly question. Dover however,
whom I regard as ''second authority'' , is used to answer also silli questions.
Now my assumption is that damper to which coills are ,say, pressed
by tension wire balance cantilever/stylu combo in ''all directions'';
left and right and above and below . BUT they also MUST FOLLOW
the GROOVES.
My observation however is that also ''deviant'' cantilevers which
nobody would buy look STRAIGHT IN DE GROOVE. Ergo:: it is
the groove which determine cantilevet/stylus position .?
@nandric Welcome Back. Good to see you are pondering the Mechanical Interfaces within a Cartridges Assembly. I have many discussions on this subject behind me. It is the one subject that pretty much suggests each Cart' is unique in how it presents a signal as a result of the condition of these interfaces.

Thera are, generaly speking, two mothods for learning. One is ''from our eperience'', the other ''from our errors''. I wil ''eleaborate'' on the later. Those usualy start with some confession. My is that I spend an fortune on straigthening the cantilevers by cartridges which I purchased with strath cantievers. .The first question was why my friend retipper Axel Schurholz as well my new friend retipper from Poland never told me that this was not , say, necessary? But the other question provided the answer: why should they? The other question is more difficult to answer: what or how deed al those straith cantolever become ''deviant'' . The only answer is that some of my cartrideges felt negloected. Mind you I owned +60 samples. As everybody else I had also my darlings. 10 of those ''pre-adjusted'' in their own headshell such that I was able to change them in 5 min. time on my beloved FR-64 S. (''S'' for steel as well SILVER). . But I need to wait for Dover In order to check my presupposition.

@nandric Certainly no need scour through Archive Threads for my contributions. I have and do communicate outside of this forum with some very adept EE/Engineers and Technicians who are a forte of knowledge on these subjects. There is enough information gathered to suggest a Cart' at the time of production will have +/- tolerances allowed for as the assembly is finalised. There is also plenty to suggest once the Cart's is in use in a particular environment and subjected to the practices of a variety of users, the variances that can develop to the assembly of parts can be very very broad. Have a look at some of the Images supplied of Cart's that have been supplied to receive a refurb, and in many cases it can be seen the environment and attitude to the Cart' from the user, has resulted in a very undesirable condition being witnessed. In a nut shell, New Cart's mechanical interfaces, can have mechanical interfaces that are quite unlike a New Cart's in a very short space of time. I am an advocate of a Annual Service/Refurbish if optimum performance is the desired state for the Cart' whilst it's parts are still quite fit to perform their selected riles. |
