| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Fleib: Just to clear this up, extend two lines, to infinity if necessary. They will intersect. In the given example, 22* is a ballpark number. Otherwise we're saying the same thing other than your comment about the "theoretical pivot poin... | |

In the case of a curved arm, the d... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards, Nandric: What you write makes good sense. I was thinking the same earlier as I took a Pickering XV-15 out of the grits box.
