Can you say phase shift! This is incredibly important and I have never heard any actual expert address this issue. I obviously assumed that the manufacturer / re-tipper would have managed this error to an inconsequential level. For a cartridge of this expense ($6K) to be so out of whack is ridiculous!

Peter helped me with SRA based upon USB microscope pics. I had to fabricate a significant mechanical shim to get things correctly aligned. Tonearm base VTA is very limited, do the math. The longer the tonearm, the less practical it becomes.

I would really like to hear an expert comment on this issue. Even if I knew the diamond skew, I have no tools that would allow me to align the cantilever with that adjustment.

Luckily, my system sounds wonderful as-is!
