What the heck are you trying to say? That this area of discussion is overloading people with mental problems? I certainly don't mind another's opinion, as mine are sometimes entirely useless, but I miss your point.Are you saying that manufacturing to a high precision is not achievable, or not needed in this product?
Perhaps you are talking of perfection as a concept, while I was discussing hitting a goal of manufacturing tolerances, as applies to the discussion at hand, and that is where we differ. If you hit my construction goals, that is perfection for this purpose. I would think that microscopic tolerances are reasonable, since that is the size of the information being retrieved. Obviously, if flaws are visable to the eye, something is wrong.
Granted it is a task that can be achieved with a pin stuck into a cone of paper and held against a record, but better results can be had with more effort. Just like you could tell time with a stick's shadow as the sun moves, but most use a wrist watch.
I am currently considering 300-400 for a new cart. That would buy me a wrist watch with all the gears aligned and made to a high standared, hands polished and nice, and a few more polished jewels , if I desired, than would be used in a phono cart. A multi year warantee on it's functions and precision would not be unusual, but rare in a phono cart.
Can you tell me that a phone cart is harder to build, or needs more costly parts? It is only because hearing is such a subjective thing that these poor quality efforts thrive in the market place. (you think what you hear, and seeing the stuff is impossable without aids )
I think the good poster is not getting a fair value for his money. I don't think he expected to get a crooked of misaligned product when he made his buying decision. It was probably represented, as most are, with what a great product to expect , via graphs and construction specs. It probably did not say," might be shipped mis-aligned or not play correctly when mounted in a normal way".
Since none of the defects he has were brought to his attention as a possibility while he was making his buying decision, he is certainly correct to expect satisfaction , to recieve what he resonably expected to get for his money. He did not bargin for a low quality product, he expected the precision represented when he paid his money. The company does not have have product standards as an unreachable goal or a pie in the sky dream. I think the consumer should be just as results oriented.
They will get a better product, if they can hear it is up to them.
