RE: Best Alignment For Rock Music




Since I think you are meaning, whatever alignment gives you the least amount of distortion (and more importantly the least amount of inner groove distortion).

Having said that- I enter this foray as a rock and roll kinda guy. I listen to a LOT of old classic rock, metal from way back when (Iron Maiden) and grew up with all my prog albums (Yes, Genesis, ELP) from the time I bought them to now. I have had incredible results with Baerwald alignment on with my Linn Akito 2b arm/Ortofon-SoundSmith Kontrapunkt- very little IGD and tight, focused sound to boot!

While the above pic isn't the exact protractor I use (go to Vinyl Engine for that), it shows you the parameters...

Good luck,
