@lewm , think about it. He is mounting a tonearm that requires a 250 mm spindle to pivot distance at 240 mm increasing overhang by 10 mm. In order to get the right geometry you will have to push the cartridge back in the head shell, back towards the pivot not forwards. Then you would have to twist the cartridge clockwise to get the right offset angle. Moving the cartridge forwards will increase overhang eventually with the results I mention above.
@rauliruegas , That is the most eloquent post I have ever seen you do and you are absolutely right. Anyone who thinks they can hear even 5 degrees of tracking error need to run some blinded tests on their own to learn a little more about their hearing capability. People need to run these experiments to learn what they can and can not hear along with the degree to which your brain can play around with you.
You have run into the problem that I mention in regards to linear trackers.
The vertical effective mass is too low for most modern cartridges and the bass gets screwed up. This is the reason Clearaudio made the Goldfinger so darn heavy. It makes their arm sound better. Terrible arm IMHO. Just watch one tracking and you will see the cantilever lead the arm and wiggle back and forth. Air bearing arms do the same thing perhaps not quite as bad.
Have you had a chance to hear a Schroder LT yet? I love that design.
