Hi Doug,
It just seems so much like the tail wagging the dog to my sense of geometry, albeit novice in these matter that it is. How is it that an arm manufacturers mount and overhang and therefore its designed tracking arc get trumped by a protractor?
Maybe its the simpleton in me looking to reduce complexity, but Ive got to ask Why cant one set the cartridge overhang using linear measurements as per the arms manufacturer for the designed tracking arc: Then use compassed circles for Baerwald, Stevenson or whomever one divines to have the null points ones looking for, and use these to set just the stylus tangent? What am I missing?
I realize my jugular is exposed with this, so be easy on me. Thanks.
Mario
