Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

It's a matter of pragmatism.

" Are you saying that manufacturing to a high precision is not achievable, or just not needed in this product? "

Obviously not ! what I am saying is that perfection is unrealistic
any manufacturing process involves QC which inherently has a given range of acceptability certain components like Helicopter Transmission and rotor parts are critical to the degree that the acceptable QC range is such that there is 80%+ rejection rate and the cost then becomes astronomical as a result and even under those circumstances none of those parts are literally perfect, if that was the case a helicopter would cost over a billion at least.

Phono cartridges aren't excused from the same economic principals that govern the manufacturing/cost relationship as any other product
just because some of the users are wound too tight neurotic weenies.

And at least theoretically the more expensive the product, those ranges diminish, but the fact remains that when you buy one of those products the actual odds of getting one right at the mean or the range is statistically unrealistic.
