Re: New Cartridge, stylus offset to left a few degrees - Normal?

Ray - In my years of hanging out in audio salons, my friends as well as others just about every cantilever that was of " a few degree's or even several degrees off center " has invariably actually been off less than one degree, and a few that seemed dead nuts square but the guy was having a near anxiety attack, as well as the fact that many of the examinations were due to the person dropping the tonearm on the record or having it skitter accross the record and then they are convinced it's now destroyed.
I have serious doubts that most cartridges ever leave the factory
off even a full degree, worst case.
So I figured I'd save the guy the trouble of sending the 2nd back.

Judgement call.

Regards Fred
