Facts and theories, Facts can be assumed to be ''true statements''.But not all statements are truth-functional. That is those can't beconsidered to be either true or false (tertium non datur). Well an enumeration of facts is not a theory. Theory i...

Dear chakster, the sense of caliper is to use it as ''markeddistance'' of the stylus in its headschell . This assumes manycartridges and headshells so by changing carts and headshellsone need not to use his tractor but the caliper instead. Muchfas...

Dear lech, your ''info'' is confusing: ''all the carts which I used withOrsonic'' clearly suggest more than one cart. Well you  don'tneed the  caliper for only one cart (FR-7). Caliper is for ''copy'' of one good adjusted cart. The eff. lenght (di...

Sorry chak, I see an rubber ring behind the headshell connectorwhile the higth of this ,uh, cheap instrument, does not allowlowering of the stylus to the marked position. One need to guesswhere the stylus point should be. Together they make at lea...

"The protractor'', ''an protractor'''or ''whatever protractor''?The tonearms lengths are 9'', 10'' and 12''. They ''assume''different effective length. Aka the stylus distance to the pivot.Letch owns 10'' tonearm (FR-64) while eff. length is 245 m...

Letch mentioned to own FR-64 . If so then he owns FR-64 withaluminum wands . The lateral balance is also different from 64S.Anyway if the spindle to pivot distance is right he can fasten hisFR-7 direct to the arm without any  tractor. After all he...

Retipping Cartridge
The obsession with retips is curious because there are othermore difficult repairs important. The coils are the most difficultto repair even assuming that someone is willing to mess withcoils. Then damping is anyway more difficult to do then retip... 
Retipping Cartridge
Retipping is one of the possible cartridge repairs . Besides itmay mean cantilever/stylus combo or stylus only retip. Thenthere is also the price for each. You provided unsufficient infoto justify your P&R for ''the clinic''. 
Fidelity Research FR-7 Repair
Dear chaksrer, you are again back to parts. Lets talk about them.The coils are the most difficult to repair. Nobody wants to messwith those. Then there are dampers. No retipper has the ''original''but, say, 3 unknown kinds meant for different comp...

Dear chakster, Our ''dispute'' become very difficult if one confusespindle to pivor distance with effective lenght and persist inbelieve that manufacturer ''know better''. As Raul and Kessler&Pisha have shown neither of all 22 tonearms are wit...
