How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm

Dear Griffit: "  He wasn't asking for a schooling in arm design theory but just a simple answer to what he discovered "

I totally agree but thing's are that I always post trying that in any audio subject where I have experiences not only say: " yes or no " but trying to learn more on that subject and that other people can do it.

We all will improve our audio knowledge level if we all understand where everything comes down, where is " generated ".

I'm sure that some of the gentlemans here and viewers of the thread already learned " something " on each single post in the thread and this ( for me ) is the right target in any audio forum.

In my case your contributions here do not gave any new " light " but through this thread I learned that the Dangcao protractor is for at least 3 different geometry alignments where the Lewm one ( same manufacturer. ) is only for Baerwald.

With all respect my sugestion for you is that instead to " blame " my posts will be better if you ignore it. How about?, sounds good: right?

IMHO what it's terrific down there are only " terrible " and high distortions not real music information. End Quote:

This is your idea of helpful?  To criticize by questioning his findings after his deviation from the printed hole location.  Did you actually hear what his system sounded like?  It his system.  If it sounds terrific to him, then I believe him.  But to tell him that that what he is really hearing is ''terrible'' and high distortions not real music information is plain B/S!

Gentlements, please.
I have learned a lot from all of you since the thread initiated.

Good!, that's all about.

Hi everyone,
I am wondering based on the chart about the comparison between the 3 alignments B, L, and S. The Stevenson looks the worst. Why there are still designers used this geometry for their tonearm?
Thanks,
Calvin
