i honestly think it sounds better with correct azimuth, regardless of the fact that i now have less surface contact. i know conventional wisdom says that you should have as much contact between the headshell and cart to dissipate vibrational energy. i think this is going to matter to a greater or lesser extent depending upon the cart and tonearm. the much pricier Ortofon Jubilee has a similar ridge fixed along the top of the cart body. this is where i got the idea for my diy job (although i doubt it sounds as good:))even if i had a straight headshell, i'm not guarenteed a perfect stylus/canti with carts in this price range. my BM Silver and DV 10x5 weren't perfect, but the cheaper denon dl-110 is.
i gotta say, it looks much better in the flesh. i'm no ansel adams. i painted it black, but the headshell covers most of it up anyway.
thanks for the compliments and constructive criticism.
p.s. maybe i should get these mass manufactured and sell them for $300 a pop. charge twice as much for titanium or carbon as an "upgrade". i could call it "The Widget" and concoct a "science" behind its superior design and preach about it in absolutes. lots of DBX would be involved of course:)
