Maybe I am naive or maybe someone could explain to me what the SONIC difference is between -1mm and +1mm S2P difference?
If there is enough space/play in length of the slotted head shell cart mount hole.
So you are able to get desired overhang and hit you preferred alignment type.
Then there should not be any SONICALLY difference between those two S2P distances.
It only become a problem if you can not reach the desired points for your arch protractor/overhang. So as I see it the slotted holes in the head shell allows some tolerance in pivot to spindle distance.
And we then fine tune it IF we use a ARC protractor that fix the overhang!
But yes you loose out if you use a tool that set the overhang by other suboptimal techniques.
As everyone understands now that a arc protractor has yet here another benefit when it adjust the overhang and in the process fixes any intolerances that just that specific TT and tonarm combination has!
Every TT has a unique S2P distance because of their is always a slight mounting tolerance of ± X.XX mm.
So please use a arc protractor and this P2S issue is not any issue anymore if you can adjust in the slotted holes in the head shell..
