It's certainly important, but the tolerance range is open to a lot of argument. Record warp changes the angle by enough to negate arguments about hearing tiny fractions of a mm in pivot height. At least for the records I own. I just replaced a cartridge with a new one of the same type, and was very disappointed with the sound until I raised the arm pivot by .025-.075". The arm is no longer quite parallel to the record, and the particular setup loses all its musicality if I follow the rule of making it so. Ditto azimuth. It has to be more exact than most people can set using a template. The template gets you very close, but the last quarter degree or so has to be done by listening.
