I believe that getting the stylus angle to the groove correct is paramount to good sound, but inconsistencies in manufacturing stylus to cantilever and cantilever to body(?) can cause subpar alignment. So I'm going to use WAM Engineering to calculate via microscope the optimal angle to set my cartridges in order to get the stylus to align accurately with the groove. This obviously doesn't apply to spherical styluses.
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 .?
