The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position

pindac, this tread is not about you nor me. So nether ego is involved. The

topic  is about ''function together of mentioned ''parts'' + LP groove.

The grammar force us to put everything in ''subject-predicate'' sentence

form but grammar has problems with ''relational'' phenomena's. Now

I am not talking about defective cantilevers nor dampers nor tension

wire. But about wat I named ''deviations''. One can see deviation of the

cantilever from ''straight'' position. If one own an +5K cart this may be

called ''shocking'' experiece  The poorer kind among us also by +200$.

But if we know that ''small deviation from straigth'' is not ''what it looks

like'' we can sleep well. The first to blame is not cantilever but damper.

We all know (?) that as ''function of time'' they can ''harden'' or 'dry

out'' or become ''weak'' or ''to soft''. We deed not yet mention ''low

riders''. But  we do remember  those phantastic Technics 205 (?)

kinds which become wortless  because of the ''soft damber. No way

to fix those. Not only ''monetary'' loss but also ''sentimental'' kind.of

sorrow.

So we have , speaking in language of formula's, 4 variables. The only

''one'' that I am not sure about are those 2 srews on the generator.

That is why I asked for DOVER'S help. But the (Dutch) New Sealand

PRIMA DONNA  feels probably ''insulted' one way or the other and

refuse to cooperate. I changed my mind about him and will not visit

him in his new country. Besides I can buy my own wine from Italy or

France. Compared to HIS  who would care  about New ZEELAND kind?

About ''egos'' or members. There ara those who think that their

English is a kind of priviledge in intellectual sense. I got remarks 

as  : ''your  English is second languge.'' . My answer was 

''my English is my 5th language''. I got no answer from this

''tickheaded person''. They don't grasp that their own forum

is international. I myself  was  seen as the member of the

''German group'' (with my beloved ''der Tonearm'' and Syntax).

If someone is to blame for my English thsn our Lew.

I decaalred him as my English  teacher. so those who intend

to blame MY English should address their post to Lew. 

 

When a Cart' is purchased for whatever the retail or purchase value, it is fundamentally a sacrificial part, 'expected' to deteriorate in performance.

How one chooses to continue with the usage of the Cart' when signs of deterioration shows is their choice. If they convince themselves that placing the Styli in the Groove is a solution to be used as a temporary correction, then this is their choice, and any unwanted knock on effects of this practice will commence being realised. 

The Cart' in use, will typically be subjected to a depreciation in value, as a result of the idea it has been used, even if the reported usage is claimed to be very low in hours, the unknowing and fragility of the device is the controlling factor, with this in mind, it is an individuals choice, for how much they want to pay for the same levels of fragility that are present across the entirety of the price range.

It is each to their own, when it comes to how much they would like to have attached, as a cost to be incurred to replay a Album, using the 1000 Hours as a guidance, a replay of a album can have an approx' cost of $1.50 - $13. There are very enjoyable experiences on offer from all Cart's, reports from users are sharing this on a regular basis.  

If the Cantilever is seen to be askew and has changed in appearance to an earlier observed alignment, especially one that was not noticeable with an askew being present. The chances are that a change has occurred to other under the hood parts, and this change to condition has manifested as a change to the cantilevers position.

An Aluminium Cantilever might endure a force and show as being curved or bent, but I am not sure if a mineral cantilever has ever been discovered with a curve formed on it.

  

Dear pindac, the expression ''it depends'' is short and easy to remembar and

very  smart   as reminder not to use quantifier  ALL when starting from our

own opinion. I owned  all Ikeda's FR 7 kinds. Those are from the 80is. 

Each of them was perfect in technical sense but I decided to keep F7,ez.

I also got after waiting for for 2 years his REX, the cantileveless kind.

Both are my most precious ''darlings''. No idea how he deed ''it'' but I have

never heard complaints about his dampers. In contradistinction the recent

purchased ZYX had defective damper. I ever started an thread about

IRREPARBLE carts. To my big surprise nobody was interested. My

reason was Sony XL 88D (D for diamond ). I am not sure if back than

acrilic existed so i will name it ''plastic body''. Gloed together and provided

with damping material inside to dampen resonaces. But there was no

way to get IN for any repair. So my friend Axel Shurholz, who described

this ''stuff'' as glue was not able to fix this ''wonder''. Our architect 

from Australia calld  AUSSIE declared this cart as the best he

ever owned. Mori-san made two innovations for this XL sereis.

8 form coils and internal damping. In the 80is one could buy

an Volkswagen for its price. So whatever the function of time 

may be ''deterioration'' is not  always the case. BTW also

all my Kiseki's from the 80 are much better then the ''brand 

new'' kind. The later are ''collectivly'' offered for sale while

my Agaat and Black heart are nowhere to find. 

 

 

Adopting me as your English professor is a situation up with which I will not put. Also, regarding NZ sourced wines, my wife has a predilection for their Sauvignon Blanc above most others. I know nothing about dampers, cantilevers, and whatnot, but the thread is amusing nevertheless, thanks to your wit.
