"the correct geometry" ...

AFAIAC, there is no "correct" geometry for a cart. It will have a certain stylus-to-bolt-hole distance, and height from stylus to headshell, and a good arm will allow adjustments for these parameters, to suit that particular cart.

But getting it located so that it aligns to the correct null points for the particular alignment chosen (and the inner groove radius/outer groove radius choices you prefer) is crucial, to make the cartridge sound its best. (As is VTF, VTA and azimuth.)

But each to his/her own. :-))

Regards,

Andy
