"Now, in the old times the protractors or the ones that came with tonearms was not really accurated and people did not to much care making the cartridge/tonearm set-up because they ( including me. ) was only starting to understand the importance of that set up, even the profesional reviewers not talked about in their reviews. No one cares about and the " trouble " for some cartridges at the very end grooves was magnified."
This is absurdly incorrect and misleading although it is revealing because it shows that raulruegas discovered the importance of proper phono cartridge alignment in a Music Reproduction System fairly recently and now that he has made that startling to him discovery he now portrays himself as an expert on the matter when it is actually clear that he is confused and I am being polite by using that word. The importance of proper phono cartridge alignment in a Music Reproduction System goes as far back at least as the earliest stereo records that employed the Westrex 45/45 system and early ariticles about the amazing Westrex 45/45 system almost always included information about the importance of proper phono cartridge alignment it is not a new or recent idea at all! In fact it was concern over not just proper alignment but that the problems caused by tracking error that the earliest linearly tracking arms/turntables were introduced. Rek-O-Cut made a linearly tracker in the 1950's and the Truline also dates to the 1950's and of course in the 1960's you had the original Rabco linearly tracking arms so to suggest that the importance of proper phono cartridge alignment is recent and that "no one"cared until lately is a patently false claim. Raul is way behind the times here and clearly lacks the experience and knowledge he professes in this group and the claim raises questions about the techniques he employs to measure the "DISTORTIONS" that he seems to always be shouting about in this group.
