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

Jack, why would you expect...

... these two situations to provide simiar results?

Situation #1
a) contact surface is glass (low friction)
b) contact is on a single surface only (low friction)
c) contact surface is unmodulated (low friction)
d) stylus contact surfaces are in mid-air, only the point is touching

Situation #2
a) contact surface is vinyl (higher friction)
b) contact is on two surfaces (higher friction)
c) contact surfaces are modulated (higher friction)
d) point is in mid-air, stylus contact surfaces are touching

If papers impress you read the FAQ's. There are good explanations there of skating forces and what causes them. Once you understand this you'll understand why a flat glass plate is a very inaccurate simulation, no matter how many salons used it.
