you're right actually - for DJ tonearms

A lot of DJ turntables nowadays use straight tonearms, but *no offset angle* at the headshell. This apparently improves skip resistance considerably, at the expense of 10-20 degrees of tracking angle error.

Obviously, the sound quality suffers, and all audiophile-oriented straight arms angle the headshell.

Think I'm making this up? Look at the Stanon STR8 series.
