RE: Cartridge alignment and tonearm design

I totally agree with Story, thus, I use an elliptical tip as it's forgiving of slight inaccuracies, and playing a record I have that's been a bit sibilant in the past is now, no longer on my Rega P6, which has no user adjustments, unless I play with shims but am not gonna at this time.

The record, is Heart's 1985 self titled which had at least 2 big hits, and at least one other minor hit (What About Love) and 2 hits, Never and These Dreams, both were sibilant, but Never especially on my old table, and using the Bearwald protractor for Rega arms has virtually eliminated all that. I got this from VE, making sure the measurements were printed exactly as the file by choosing fit to page option on my printer as it's a PDF file and it was absolutely spot on and did the job exceedingly well I might add.

I think I'll leave it that way and the cart is more or less straight in the fixed headshell to start with.
