Just as a point of clarification, I was not commenting in my initial post about a bent cantilever.
The cartridge I set up with the MintLP on my Technics SL1200 with Zupreme headshell had a straight cantilever. That is to say the cantilever was parallel with the sides of the cartridge body.
However, after setting up the cart with the MintLP, the cartridge body was not parallel with the headshell.
The primary method employed by the MintLP is to set up cartridge by aligning the cantilever parallel with markings on the MintLP's mirrored surface. This is in contrast to a few cartridge set up templates I have used that guide the installer to adjust the cartridge's angle using the sides of the cartridge body as the reference (rather than the cantilever).
