If you search my posts you will find that I have answered this question over and over. The answer is an emphatic no. If you have headshell slots and can reach the overhang spot exactly, all is fine.
There is a certain person on this board, on this thread in fact, who again and again espouses false truths. It is annoying as can be. And I ain't talking about Millercarbon who though has his own picadellos at least knows the basics of turntable set-up and geometry.
And while I am in a mood for ad-homynym references, Lewm knows his stuff too. I am a bit surprised by his response in this thread though.
Look, your cartridge knows nothing of P-S. It only needs to be able to trace the proscribed arc for a given alignment and if overhang is reached, it will. For a given tonearm, P-S only affords adjustment for the largest range of cartridges with various mounting hole to stylus tip distances ASSUMING headshell slots.
