In Reply to: Cartridge alignment and tonearm design posted by Tre' on July 7, 2020 at 07:30:53:
Tre' - a tonearm that's adjustable is a tool for aligning the cartridge, which has a diamond aligned on the cantilever. Each and every cartridge, even by the same manufacturer, is going to be slightly different.
The complicated diamond profiles are the ones that need precision in setup and playing each and every record. Ellipticals and conicals are more forgiving.
There are people that purchase complicated profiles in systems requiring detailed setups for each record. I'm not one of them as I prefer to just clean and play vinyl without too much fuss. My setup time was spent on the initial mounting and my not using the most complicated profiles.
Unless you write each and every adjustment down and have a tonearm that's adjustable on the fly you might spend a lot of time doing this. There are many factors involved and I have an original Magnepan tonearm which is the most precision tonearm I've ever used as the VTA can be repeatably adjusted to within a MM on the fly but away from the chair.
Somebody out there somewhere probably designed a remote control device and tonearm but was probably shelved because vinyl was "replaced with perfect sound forever". I will be dead when that happens.
