Dear all, the last post by Syntax with the two photos showing the different cutting area ( and those weren't yet the absolute extremes of either school - have a look at some of the DMM cuttings from the 1980ies !! ) shouldn't be overlooked, as these pictures nicely illustrate a core problem of tonearm alignment.
The reason behind many "sibilance" and "distortion" problems and one of the reasons why longer tonearms in general are superior over a wider band of records.
