STP distance. Is it critical ?
Dear Tom, I also admire Quine but your problem is,uh, similar to the war that was meant to end all wars. To mymind this is the lanquage issue. The capability of speakers to generate from limited lanquage resources a unlimited amount of sentences a... 
STP distance. Is it critical ?
Dear Tom, For those that are not blessed with mathematical talents: order the Mint tractor. That is what I deed.Regarding your 'similarity argument' I am sorry but I was not able to resist the 'çhalenge'. In Holland we have thesaying:'from the rai... 
STP distance. Is it critical ?
Dear Tketcham, I quoted Carr in my post from memory but thethread is:'Allignment tool for SME V + Shelter'. To prevent any suggestion of 'belittling' the SME V I need toadd that all the owners , Carr included, are very fond about their tonearm. Ho... 
STP distance. Is it critical ?
Dear Raul, If I understand the design of SME V then the designers assumed the exact position of the stylus in allcarts. Otherwise thy would make slots in the headshell.The actual carts are some kind of 'movenig targets'in thisrespect. So to get th...

Dear Paperw8, I am not sure what you mean by 'logical explanation' (08.27.10). I thought that logic is about 'deduction'. Ie if the premise is true and deductionscorrect, then the deduced statements must be also true.Are you questioning the premis... 
STP distance. Is it critical ?
Dear Bill, J. Carr proposed 'éasy way' out for the SME V:recalculate the geometry (thread reg. SME V?).My (other) question. According to SAEC engeneers the balance in all 3 dimensions across the radius is of muchimportance. Can you explain this cl... 
STP distance. Is it critical ?
Dear Bill, Not so sure if the math. is so sure (see fundations). Enyway the math is not subjective. But we allare trying to get the stylus on those null points. But ifwe use,say,SME V with holes and not slots how are we (pre)supposed to get there ... 
STP distance. Is it critical ?
Dear Raul, This is a kind of student-teacher situation; mebeing the student asking the teacher if he is not'forgeting something'. We assume that all designers start with pivot-spindle (exact)distance. For the eff. lenght however they must assume é...

Dear Frogman, There is also great joy in discussion witheloquent persons for the sake of argument. My problem withthe éssentilism in the context of 'composition' is that when you take the 'essential part'apart and remove the 'accidental' one you w... 
Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths
Frogman, The relation between the whole and the parts is called aggregate when the parts are 'similar' or composition when the parts are disimilar. A sentence or statement, for example, is a composition. The notion of essence is from Aristotle. Fo...

How about those drilling platforms on the sea searchingfor oil or gas? Are those 'legs' or feets inadequate? Orare those low torque drive mechanism?

John, There are 'modest' people who are also satisfied withthe 'second best' and probable also able to buy some LP's. That is btw the reason that I am so kind to Lew.Regards,

Raul&Lewn,I hope I will be not crashed between two giantsof our forum. I have also no Solomons intentions. My interest is pure pragmatic.Lew I think that your slate-plinths are beautiful but hopethat they are also affordable in contradistincti... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Kcc123, I don't believe Raul will be impressed with your argument based on eff.mass. One can change the eff.mass byusing lighter headshells. I am not familiar with AT 1503 but well with AT 1010. To my mind an excellent tonearm forMM carts.Regards,

Strange, very strange. Those masters who are at the same time artists are tuning, retuning ,possible kissing them and praying for them to sound right,but after some undeterminated break in time. But at the moment you bought them they are crap.So w...
