Well, that's news to me. Of course, I don't keep up with modern tonearms but I thought just about all of them had offset bearings these days. The main ones I remember with zero offset in the vertical bearing are the original J-shaped SME 3009 and 3012 tonearms. I owned two SME 3009 Series II J-shaped tonearms and they sounded just fine to me. However, SME switched to offset bearings with the SME Series III tonearm in the 1970s. The SME Series IV, V and 300 Series all have offset bearings. They might have gone back to zero offset on some of their newer M2 tonearms, but I would never own one of those and they no longer make them anyway.
I'm just not aware of "many modern tonearms with no bearing offset." Therefore, I'm calling "horse doo doo" on that one. ;-)
