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 .?

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." I too have no idea what WAM stands for, so I just quoted the acronym. Seems to me the company, WAM Engineering, would have to make the measurements described in kenny's post at his house, in his system.

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.
