Why not use an arc'ed lathe?


I know that a linear tracking lathe produces the least amount of tracking error when using a linear tracking tone arm, but since the market has predominantly chosen pivoted tone arms, why not define a standard arc'ed geometry for the lathe and go with it? Wouldn't this also help simplify setup, product development, and overall experience?

'manufacturers like me'??

We've tried really hard to make our stuff plug and play; automated the bias, made it really easy to set up the amp (matched tubes not required) and such. I recognized 30 years ago that stuff has to be easy to use or it will wind up in a closet or worse.

'Manufacturers like me' have got nothing to do with it. If you want to give someone a hard time about it, talk to the lathe manufacturers? What's that?? you don't know any??

Sheesh.
@atmasphere : What I meaned in reality was not that you are the lathe manufacturer but you are an audio items manufacturer and in that post you speak as it not as a customer in that specific regards.

Sorry, no intention against you.
