High End cartridges and the built quality

I had some cartridges in the past with some quality failure. Only one, an EMT was perfectly built.

Here some pictures of Lyra Skala and Kleos cantilivers/diamonds:

I think in this price range not acceptable.

I know a Dynavector Xv-1s with the same problems.

I use a Dino-Lite AM-4815ZT. The pictures with the crosshair are made on a CNC milling machine with optical lense. Pictures with this quality are possible: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6a9ow4gam58u3v/AT%20OC-9.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/49jq2eyqssnr43w/EMT%20JSD6%20Diamamond.jpg?dl=0 Back to the problem with the cantiliver/diamond allignment. I also had two Audio Technica cartridges which had a azimutfailure of 2°.
