RE: No, you are wrong again

After I posted, I though that's what you meant.


Here's the problem I have with that thinking.

The purpose of AS is to counter the skating force and get the stylus to place the same tracking force on both sides of the groove.

If you have a cartridge that will track well even though there is not as much tracking force on the right side of the groove as there is on the left side of the groove then so be it.

But that's not the same as fully compensating for the skating force and having the tracking force equal on each side of the groove.

With the skating force properly compensated for the stylus will wear evenly.

Just getting the cartridge to track, even when the forces are not the same, will not ensure even stylus wear.
