Overhang is the small distance (about 16mm in the OP's case) that the stylus point "overhangs" the spindle. As I noted, the purpose of overhang (combined with offset) is to reduce tracking error.
Oddly, there are "underhung" arms, which while subject to greater tracking error, do minimize antiskating problems. Some users report excellent sound from them. I've never heard one, but I admit I'm curious.
Btw, @cleeds :Fair enough, although I think neither of us stated it perfectly clearly. ; |
Overhang is the distance between the center of the TT spindle and the stylus tip settle by the protractor. It's that small distance in between.
