RE: Cartridge alignment and tonearm design

A white paper from Shure suggests a degradation of 5dB in channel separation with a 1° error. 1° is a very typical tip mounting tolerance angle (for azimuth and rake). 1° is a typical cantilever skew tolerance (as quoted from Audio Technica).
The effect of the error in bearing offset to set offset angle will depend on the amplitude of a record warp and the arm length combined with the error in arm height with respect to a reference record thickness and whether the individual record thickness is compensated for.
