Message-ID: <10163@uwm.edu> Date: 13 Mar 91 13:45:34 GMT Sender: news@uwm.edu Lines: 6 Approved: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu Originator: tjk@csd4.csd.uwm.edu To the usually correct and lucid Bill Vermillion: Sorry, but you got this one wrong. The cutting stylus is angled INTO the cut, and the angle varies more than we'd all like, as I pointed out before. (I've read a number of the articles in the AES disk anthology which discuss such things.) But you are right in that ideally the playback angle/geometry should match the cutting.
