Thanks Tubes and BK ... Forgive me if this is a dumb quesiton

because I admittedly do not know much about tonearm design, but do tonearm designers take into account the alignment method when designing other parameters that will affect the arms performance? By that I mean, if an alignment method tends to be overly bright, will a tonearm designer tend to compensate by warming up the rest of the arm so to speak? Is there logic in saying that a general rule of thumb is to use the alignment method the arm was designed around? Is a slightly askew cart the only negative result of using a different alignment method than the one the arm was intended?

Thanks Tubes by the way along with BK. This is one of the more helpful threads I've seen in a long time. I have a syntec which is has fairly odd dimensions. I could never get the cart aligned without having it sit a few degrees off. This always bugged me and affected my confidence level in my ability to set up a cart. I used the tool BK suggested to realign my cart and its perfect. I would say it sounds a good bit better but my speakers are in the process of breaking in and it sounds better daily. Well at least daily for the last couple days.

Thanks all!!!!

Nate
