Dear Axel: +++++ " The maths is correct! But life seems to beat it all the time. " +++++
This statement is a confirmation of almost none serious/in-deep research ( laboratory one. ) on several/many audio item/device subjects not only on tonearm/cartridge subject.
The life seems to beat all the time because around science ( maths, physics, etc, etc. ) we don't " measure " what explain the subject, we " measure " in wrong place, we don't " measure " with all the factors involve, we don't make that " measure "/research in scientific and useful way, the maths can't know what each one like, the maths does not explain which kind and which distotions level are what we accept, the measures can't co-related to explain an overall audio subject, etc, etc.
The science/maths is a very wide " tool " that is very useful when is aplicate in the right way and when take in count all the different factors that can/could affect an event.
Do you think that the tonearm/cartridge resonance frequency matching ( calculation ) can explain why a cartridge/tonearm combination ( with normal moving mass and right set-up . ) can/could sound bad, I mean " so, so " ?, certainly not there are many factors involve to realy have a " light " that explain the " event ". Like this there are many examples, so we have to take the " science " where really help us like in the set-up stylus geometry. But even here each one has the free will to make what ever wants.
Regards and enjoy the music.
