Hi Tobes,
if you want to know more re SME geometry, see this link for my take on why SME doesn't need this facility.
SME Geometry
There are some serious misconceptions and misunderstandings regarding their choice of geometry, which have led to erroneous comments from many quarters, including arm and cartridge designers who should know better.
Given the vagueness in cartridge specs regarding stylus to mounting hole dimensions, I would be loath to assume in practice that the actual arc of the arm would be as calculated, based on published data for the arm and the cartridge, and consequently it would not necessarily match exactly that of the Mint, which is pointless if its arc is as accurate as claimed.
In any case, with the SME, as with slotted headshells, there is still the possibility of twisting the cartridge by a small amount (or more, by using smaller diameter screws) to align the cantilever.
regards,
