There is so much BS about cartridge alignment that years ago I decided to get the Graham arm simply because Graham uses a removable arm wand that comes with its own jig making precise alignment a breeze. Now having set up several cartridges not only on the Graham but on others, the last being a Koetsu on the Origin Live Conqueror, I can say with confidence anyone can set up any cartridge on any arm and do it with precision and excellent results and with as little equipment as a screwdriver and alignment sheet that can be downloaded off the interweb for free.
Owning a turntable and not being able to mount and align a cartridge is equivalent to owning a car and not being able to inflate the tires or check the tire pressure. And being a PCA track instructor let me tell you, its a lot harder learning to set tire pressure than it is to set up a cartridge.
