RE: Thank you for you thoughtful analysis

I agree with you 100%.

Unfortunately, the problem I'm plagued with on my Technics turntable, for example, is that when I align the cartridge for perfect bearing offset, then I'm stuck with a horrible null-point alignment. On the other hand, if I adjust the cartridge for an optimum null-point alignment, I'm stuck with a possible minuscule bearing offset error. It's a compromise. I believe the null-point alignment is much more important than a possible minuscule bearing offset error. In fact, the only way the bearing offset error can even exist is if the tonearm moves up-and-down, and most of my LPs are perfectly flat. Therefore, most of the time I won't have a bearing offset error at all, but I'll always have an optimum null-point alignment.

To each his own!

Your choice,
John Elison

PS. I simply love my SME Series V tonearm because it's designed for an optimal null-point alignment and therefore always maintains perfect bearing offset, too.
