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 The askew Cantilever is present as a result of a change to parts that are designed to function in a particular way and are assembled to perform as a critical interface.

The askew cantilevers Styli, when in the Groove may leave the impression the askew position has corrected.

The likelihood is that the interfacing and critical function for the assembly of the parts as a optimised interface is now long passed and the present condition is best described as defunct. 

Dear nandric, I was indeed wrong about the Blue and Purpleheart, which were also low impedance designs. But in the case of the 'beauty' (Agate) my memory seems to be correct as several sources on the net confirm this was a 42 ohm impedance system. For the original Kiseki's there were two different motors, so it could still be the case that both Dynavector AND Kondo were involved in their design. At least it would explain the choice of SUT's for both low and high impedance systems.

Dear pindac, I think that you have no understanding of damper function

in connection with coil former. The coil is pressed against damper

with tension wire. So tension wire ''center'' the cantilever. Those two

srews on the generator are connected with tension wire, By pressing

one or the  other side the cantolever position can be changed. Aka

''corrected''. Otherwise their function would be incomprehensible,

Today my son and I checked the Agaat with ''deviant cantlever''

iby playing records. The stylus is straith in the grooves, Ergo the 

grooves center the cantllever. The coill / damper combo follow

the stylus in the groove. Those are very ''small'' presures . Try

to move the stylus /cantilever with very smal pressure to see

how ''elastic'' they are . In most cases 2 g VTF is used . This 

actully cqn;t be called ''weight''. 

Dear edgewear, Hume's ''proudness  of ownership'' make no sense if

one  has no idea what  all he owns. I think that he was very poor man.

Those can certainly remember what  they own. The ''abundance'' of 

 of my carts collection  is illustration. I forget to mention Shinon Red

boron.  If you look at this cart you can se ''the same parts''' as by Kiseki.

This was curiously the argument  for Alessandro to state that

Dynavector produced Kiseki's. To me this means that one could 

buy parts by Dynavector as by Benz. But ''parts'' of Kondo-san 

cart would be obvious as parts of Kiseki. This than would not 

need expanation for  the misterious Mr. Fokadu. 

Well, I never owned Blue nor Purpleheart, so apparently I didn't know what I didn't own. How does that qualify me? Probably as an ignorant poor man.....🤣
