RE: Fremer's ZENITH ANGLE CORRECTION or have we all gone crazy.

Plus the whole point of all this "accuracy" in setting up is to accurately follow the path taken by the cutting stylus. However we already know that the cutting stylus itself is made within tolerances rather than with an error level of zero.

If you read Fremer you will find that even 92 degrees SRA is not "correct". It is just an average figure of typical angles used on cutting lathes from various mastering houses. So get it all set up absolutely correctly according to theory and when you come to play a real record ...it is still incorrect.

As you correctly imply, vinyl replay is not for the obsessive. It was invented many decades ago for the manufacturing capability of the time and for the average home user. There was no anticipation of this level of BS which the more one looks into it the less realistic it becomes (unless you only own a single disc in which case you may be able to optimise everything for it).
