As long as your cartridge (cantilever) is properly aligned using a protractor suitable for the tonearm, this shouldn't affect the sound.
Tonearm relative to Plinth alignment
I have a Linn Basik turntable with a Linn Basik Plus tonearm (bought separately), and when the tonearm is in its arm rest it is not completely parallel with the side of the turntable. It appears to be a few degrees on its way to the platter. There are 3 holes in the table for the screws to the base of the tonearm, and they must be rotated a little bit.
Will this affect the sound of the turntable?
Thanks,
Dusty
