Yes lewm measurement is a key. In the modelling then geometry was used to measure land in ancient Egypt results was easier predictable. Tonearm is much more complex.To order such LP with 1 kHz tone is not big problem these days and even it's not e...

Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
If we do speak about scientific arguments we have to use science principles.I can see hypothesis - geometry. A lot of very exact calculations from derived data. Although I was thought in the university that after hypothesis you have to do experime... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
If to look into details you'll find that  the world isn't perfectly round. But devil is always in the details. But better to believe in round globe. Although of course 0,001 mm is very important as feeling of mindfulness can be lost. 16.863 or 1...

Chakster I do have 750EB and with heavy (not original) headshell it’s in the region of 20 with test disk.Although Jelco abandoned old series and new series compliance is much higher. In 12 inch they do have only 13 grams. https://www.jelco-ichika...

THE GOLDEN AGE OF TURNTABLES!
Tulipmania in these days are wiring prices. It's a golden age for cableman.A lot of technologies in cartridges are lost especially in MM and MI. The only bright side is return of Technics.

Garrott vs Soundsmith
