The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position

Dear edgewear, you may be also interested in HIS as well my ''suspicion''

about misterious  Mr. Fokadu? My is Kondo san. The reasons : he was the

only friend in Japan of Van den Dungen. They shared the obssesion with

tubed  tubed amps. Anyway it is cetrain that he designed all 3 Kiseki

transformers. . For those who ''long for an Kondo SUT'' but can't afford

one the chance to get one Kondo for aa bargain price (grin).

Alesandro think that Dynavectro made them based on the PARTS.

But ,say, Benz produce qll paarts except cantilever/styus combo.

Van den Hul buy all ''his'' parts from Benz. The other also,say 

Brinkmann. The ''problem'' with Alesandro is tha Nandric is as

self-willed as Alesandro. 

Dear pindac, You remind me of ''pubic servants'': why simple if complex

is possible.? My short question is what function have those two screwa on

each side of the generator? Each of my crooked cantiever was corrected

by either Axel Schurholz  or my new Polish 'rettier''. The Polish one much

cheaper because East Europeans need (more)  time to accommodate to

Western prices. If this job is so easy to do there must be some easy way to

fix the problem. ''Easy'' means ''simple''?

Dear Nandric, I know about those stories but as long as Van den Dungen remains silent we will never know the truth. It's not in my nature to serve both sides of an argument, but this might be an exception. Why?

Well, most Kiseki's (Blue, Purpleheart and Agate) were high impedance systems, which could point in the direction of Dynavector, whose systems were mostly high impedance. Probably because they used exceptionally thin coil wire, which required more turns. The Blackheart and Lapis on the other hand were low impedance systems (around 5 ohms), so different coil wire and possibly also magnets were adopted. The Kondo (then Audio Note) cartridges were also low impedance designs, so you could be right in believing that vdD asked his friend Kondo to built these top systems to his specifications. But this is pure speculation.

The armature to which the cantilever is connected should remain symmetrically in the magnetic gap. Assuming the cantilever is installed correctly perpendicular in the armature it should remain perpendicular to the face of the cartridge while tracking the record. You always set up the cartridge by sighting the cantilever. But Lyra cantilevers should always be perpendicular to the face during play or the cartridge may not be performing at its best. The tether does not determine the angle. This is determined by the way the armature sits on the suspension. 

Dear edgwear, As support for Nandric ''thesis'' about his and Alesandro's character

I must mention that all Blue Kiseki's , which BTW I all own are 5,2 Ohms . Two of

''Kondo's'' SUT's are made for those. The 40 Ohm kinds are an enigma to me..

But as I also mentioned (?) my Kiseki Agaat has ''deviantt cantilever''. My on

induction based argument ( from  one to ALL)  is this  same Agaat.. Despite

crooked cantilever when it really counts the beauty behave as a real LADY.

and folllows  the grooves in straight ''position''. Otherwise ''she'' could not

be described as a BEAUTY .
