RE: Help with SS Zephyr MIMC and VPI 3D Arm Please!

Well John we have argued about this before. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. My cartridges align just fine, all six of them including ones from Ortofon, Audio Technica, and Stanton. I have used a protractor that you made for me (thanks again for that) and an Accutrack. They all fall into the middle range of the slots too. I can't say that every cartridge would work, but consider that my actual measured distance is off by 3.5 mm and the length of the slots is ~13 mm, or plus or minus 6.5 mm from the center of the slots. Given those parameters and assuming the arm length is correct, there should be a reasonable chance for success using this method for most cartridges and if not, what is lost by trying? There is more than one way to solve any problem of course and I offered mine in good faith, not to get into an argument over it.

Bill
