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 .?

Assertion that anti-skate causes crooked cantilevers IMPLY that NO ánti-skate 

dees  the same in opposite  direction. .

@nandric 

Curious that you answer the question about the ''subject matter''

which you don't understand. 
 

No. Curious that I had to “assume” what the OP was asking. And now you’re “assuming” you KNOW what the OP was asking…

So how do you “know” I answered him correctly, or NOT???

You don’t. Actually, you have no idea one way or the other, yet you find latitude to criticize me. 
 

That’s RICH!!!!

 

Dear edgewear,

I forget to mention to you in the context of Lapis  Lazuli this. There is an

italiaan admirer of Kisek's with the name Alesandro. For his Lapis lazuli

which he listed on ''audio-markt.de'' he asked 10000 euro. This anyway

imply money value as valutation of this  cart.

wolfie 62, The thread is about dampers, tension wire and position of

the cantilever. You had nothing to say about any of those. The sense

of any discussion are the ''topics'' in caus.

Dear nandric, I recently had contact with Alessandro about another cartridge. He's a nice gentleman and certainly must be one of the biggest collectors out there.

To return to topic, most cartridges with skewed cantilever I've seen are bent to the left (with front view). This suggests that the arm was pulled outward with too much anti skating force. So I follow the advice of vdHul and others to use it sparingly. I have anti skating set at around 1 grams and tend to leave it there.

Again I ask you, do you also experience the behaviour of the cantilever being forced into the 'correct' position by the record groove with (very) low compliance? cartridges? 

And does this tell us anything about the pros and cons of cartridge compliance and how much of it is needed to get the best possible performance?
