Curved and Straight Tonearms

anybody remember the "gerrard zero 100"  turntable?

Dear @g_nakamoto: Who can't remember it? when The Zero ( for zero tracking error. ) was and still is a TT design with a truly extremely special pivoted tonearm with " zero " tracking error that when designed in the 70's was " thousands " of years a head on pivoted tonearm designs even for today top designs.

Dear friends: Almost all the time when I ask to other gentlemans that enrich or provide/contribute with real information that can help us in the subject we are under a dialogue those gentlemans ( that posted a critic or not so good opinion in the subject. ) just disappears, no additional post in the subject only " dead silence ".

Make no sense to me that kind of attitude because if I come to any audio subject dialogue is because I have something not to say but something that can help or enrich our learning level.

In this alignment on pivoted tonearms audio critical subject at least two gentlemans ( genesis 168 and clearthink ) decided no additional coments, yes this is their privilege.

Btw, Stevenson A alignment solution today is totally out of question. It gaves NOTHING to improve the quality performance level on any cartridge or any system or any tonearm. Similar alignment approaches today helps to NOTHING.
Stevenson maybe works in the old times but not today, contributes only to listen way higher distortions due to its inherent higher tracking distortions level.

@larryi gaves very good reasons about and you read information ( not just an opinion. ) I posted here and through the years in other treads.

So make your self a favor and a favor to the MUSIC: staying out of STEVENSON alignment. Of course it’s up to you.

I did not respond to you because it is patently obvious that you don't know what your talking about and when confronted with facts you respond in a way that clearly denies the facts that are readily apparent to literally everyone  who reads this board. For example you wrote that "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 professional reviewers not talked about in their reviews. " You admitted that you didn't care about alignment and even claimed that no one else did either but as I showed you in my response that is completely false it is only true that you did not know about it and after you discovered the importance of proper alignment you now want to instruct everyone here on your special knowledge of alignment which has actually been generally known for decades as I previously pointed out to you. So there is no point in responding to you when you are confused and pretend you know everything there is to know about this subject that you just learned about relatively recently in time and yet you take credit for enlightening everyone here about the matter as you shout that we should enjoy the music and not DISTORTION.
