Theory about Fidelity Research MC & PMC Carts

The question is about identity while identity theory already

exist. Say for someone who does not know that Vienna is

the same city as Wien (German) , Wenen (Dutch), Bec (Serbo-

Croatian), etc. We are used to think that names have unique

reference. But there are different names with the same reference.

This made ''logical conclusion'' about the truth possible :

''whatever is true about Vienna is also true about Wien, Wenen

and Bec (grin). This is called ''substitutio salva veritate'' . One

can substitute any of those names for each other and retain

the truth.

Dear chakster, To be more accurate I used Vienna as example

51 times. The reason is simple. This is the easy way to explain

how different names can refer to the same object. The so called

''co-referring names''. But those do cause confusion. Besides

we all assume that new names don't mean new products but old

one with new prices. You know how much I admire Ikeda san.

However I don't believe that that different names of those

''cantileverless'' kinds refer to different carts. My comrade Don

swears that 9C, mk 2 is exactly the same as 9C. mk 3.

Think of those Jelco (25?) headshells . There are unknown

many all the same and all with different prices.  It is, I think,

our duty to our co-members to warn them when we discover

such cases. But some theory about those ''co-referring names''

may be useful (grin).

My ''theory'' (aka ássumption'') is that Ikeda san deed not spend

much  money for advertising. This explains  the lack of information

about the most of his carts. Thanks to Dertonarm I learned about

FR-7 series but needed to hear all of them in order to decide which

to keep. My comrade Don (Griffiths) and I repeat the same procedure

regarding Ikeda 9 series ; the ''cantileverless kind''. We started with

9 C 2 and 3 and are now ''inspecting'' the REX and SUPREMO.

The big (?) difference between those and the rest is VTF : 1.5 g

versus 2-3 g. Those cantileverless kinds are not good tracker.

On test records by tracking ability one can hardly get 50 microns

''pure''. Our assumption based on this ''theory'' seems to be correct.

Don who already tested (my) REX got 60 microns pure with 2 g

but prefer 1,75 g. sound.

Well the relevance of ateal's question can be illustrated on

the following example. Those who followed Glanz thread know (?)

that Glanz and Astatic ''series'' are produced by Mitachi company

in Japan. So my ''Wien''= ''Vienna'' become Astatic 200= Glanz 31.

However there are people willing to pay more for Astatic 200

then Glanz 31. To my own surprise I discovered that Mitachi

obviously also produced some for Jamo (Denmark). The Jamo

equivalent for Astatic 200 and/or Glanz 31 was sold on Ebay

for $150 less than Astatic 200. All three ''kinds'' are sold for different

prices such that Astatic 200 got the highest prices.

We can then answer Shakespeare question ''What is a name?''

Well identity is about reference : ''what we are talking about?''

The names however lack ''predicative function''. They say nothing

about their bearers . However the persons who were willing to

pay more for Astatic 200 were obviously not aware that Astatic=

Glanz= Jamo.
