Dear nandric: +++++ " there is no way to avoid distortions with any pivoted tonearm " ++++
there is no way to avoid it with any tonearm and if our target is to achieve lower distortions then the cartridge/tonearm/headshell/ set up/accuracy alignment is of paramount importance: each single alignment parameter. Seems to me that for some of us the importance level that we give to each parameter is different and between other things that's why differences in what we heard, I mean: more " wider " differences due to wider/higher distortions on that analog set up/alignment.
Years ago almost no one took care on cartridge cantilever alignment and today we all know the critical importance on this parameter as on the AZ or overhang.
I think all of us already learned about but things are that some of us are not to " anal " about.
We know what is the best to each one and that's how we decide and decided what to do or where to be " anal " or not.
