The cantilever is supposed to be straight. Sure, there are some tolerances but they should not be clearly visible.I have seen many cartridges by many manufacturers, dozens of Denons, and only an AT 0C9 had a cantilever which wasn't straight. It went right back to the dealer.
BTW: if the cantilever is not straight the marking on the cartridge body (which many carts have, e.g. Denon DL-103), which is supposed to help you find the groove without looking at the stylus itself, doesn't make any sense.Don't accept shoddy work. If Denon can do it with its great but inexpensive 103s then all manufacturers should be able to do it. There is absolutely no excuse for an obvious misalignment.
