What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion?

@rauliruegas 

Forgot that if you want lower distotion figures then and using Löfgren A alignments its tonearm parameters set up are:overhang  21.58mm and offset angle  24.8°.

Where the maximum error  0.94°   maximum distortion  0.33%  and average distortion  0.22%.  All these for your P2S  225mm.

 You need two additional parameters to make the tonearm/cartridge set up and achieve those figures of lower distortion levels and that I don't gave you and are the null points that are: 80mm. and 126mm. not the one you are using today.

are the three quoted sets of numbers referring to the same setup?  

Like Lew, I am skeptical of the accuracy of the 'calculated' distortion numbers since the whole description is to vague. @nrenter  posted a screen grab to John Ellison's Excel spreadsheet.  which can be found on the Enjoy the Music site. This file has the description below of what the calculated percentage distortion refers to.

   Tracking Distortion (Column D) is based on dividing tracking error by groove radius; this is also called weighted tracking error.  Be advised that these numbers are scaled   so that they represent actual percent tracking distortion at a stylus tip velocity of 10 cm/sec.  In other words, the number 1.0 in Column D represents 1-percent distortion.

Thanks to those who posted their figures. It is much appreciated.

@intactaudio  : Yes.

@rauliruegas 

Since we are considering the theoretical, your proposed alignment simply looks like Löfgren A if you cheat the inner groove radius to 75mm and the outer groove to 143mm which is not realistic for all but the smallest selection of music.  Distortion at the 60.325mm inner groove point will be a fair bit over 2%

I do not get the calculator to work.

I enter in effective length 233.7, overhang 17.2 and offset angle 22.953° with Löfgren B.

And in the calculations and table it spits out today different offset angle  and overhang than I have entered.

I think that the calculator is totally worthless when it spits out data that is not my offset angle  and overhang. (And it doesn't calculate with the provided indata)

So those that got some output did you look that the indata were used is intact or were there their own made up values from the calculator itself!

Or am I missing something here?
