In Reply to: Tubes, give us a break. We're talking about 1.4-degrees... posted by John Elison on April 14, 2007 at 09:02:14:
An optimized air bearing zero tracking error tonearm will sound ideal. A Unipivot or fixed pivot tonearm will not sound as real as a well set up zero tracking angle tonearm.Whatever the slight degree of error in any alignment scheme, it will effect different systems in unique and interesting ways.
Add to that the simple variance of the diamond stylus which is cut and polished. John you must know that two diamonds will never cut and polish in exacty the same identical way?
I am enamored with the AT440MLA. It is a very silent cartridge. However it is not dynamic nor does it plumb the deep bass lines or hit the high notes. However it gets the midrange mostly correct. This cartridge does not care one iota about a 1.4 degree difference.
However the majority of my cartridges allow me to clearly hear the difference with various alignment schemes.
Your system might or might not translate these differences. However my system does translate all these fine discriminations of vta, vtf, and alignment. I actually enjoy hearing these changes. It lets me know exactly when I am dialed in to an optimum set up.
