In Reply to: New Cartridge, stylus offset to left a few degrees - Normal? posted by riffer on January 17, 2006 at 12:07:35:
Provided you meant that the CANTILEVERS are non-parallel. I doubt most of us can see a STYLUS well enough to tell.I agree with your decision not to accept the first cartridge. I would never accept a new cartridge with a twisted cantilever. Getting azimuth right would be a nightmare, or just plain impossible. Channel seperation and imaging would be down the toilet.
I'd also never accept a new cartridge with a cantilever that's non-parallel TO THE MOTORS. It would surely have channel imbalances, probably varying at different frequencies.
If, OTOH, the cantilever and motors are square TO EACH OTHER you're probably okay. Having them slightly non-parallel to the body isn't such a big deal.
Aligning your cantilever (not the cartridge body) with a good protractor is not difficult. If this leaves the cartridge body at a slight angle to the protractor and/or headshell so be it. Sonically that's irrelevant.
