I think it's a valuable tool.

There are many changes one can make to their system that are hard to undo. Being able to evaluate both states after the fact gives you something other than your memory to fall back on. I think I'm going to follow my own advice and pick a track or two to record every time I change something. :)

With cartridge alignment, I think it's tricky because even a poor alignment may have one or two null points somewhere on the LP. At these particular points I would think the poor alignment would outperform the optimal alignment. Of course, the optimally aligned cartridge would perform best at its null points and would exhibit less distortion on average across a side.

In other words, I didn't think alignment could improve your best case scenario but rather it minimizes you worst case.
