RE: Tonearms with "underhang"

Straight arms aligned with underhang have no offset. Skating force is reduced to very small levels, so much so that anti-skate is not needed. At least that is the claim and it makes sense.

With the absence of offset and anti-skating, torsional affects from the arm on the cantilever are greatly eliminated. "They" say, elimination of these torsional affects provides better sound quality than increased alignment error.
