How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm

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!

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,

I hate to get into this dispute....but shouldn't the offset angle of the arm be specific  to accommodate proper setup?? ..or can one twist the cartridge to accommodate  the numbers??
