What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion?

Most of us understand that measurement is the only way to actually know what is going on. Which is a theoretical argument in itself, seeing as probably no one who uses this site with any frequency has the equipment to do such measurements.

I am just interested in others’ numbers, in the vinylengine calculator.

Has no one here used it, or is it rather that no one feels obliged to post their numbers? Just curious.

Dear @fusian  : Around 90% of tonearm manufacturers used and use one of the 3 best knowed alignments: Löfgren A or B and Stevenson.

Those same tonearm manufacturers choose between different but " standard " tonearm efective lengths: 9", 10", 10.5", 11" and 12".

So run 5 times the VE calculator and you will know how measures the 90% of audiophiles tonearms. That's it.

@fusian  : Forgot that if you want lower distotion figures then and using Löfgren A alignments its tonearm parameters set up are:overhang  21.58mm and offset angle  24.8°.

Where the maximum error  0.94°   maximum distortion  0.33%  and average distortion  0.22%.  All these for your P2S  225mm.

Please don't ask how I found out those numbers because I have no time to explain you ( using VE calculator. ) or to any other gentleman, but that's it.

Thanks petg60 and Raul, much appreciated.
