Cartridge alignment with non slotted headshell?


With headshells that don’t allow for alignment, how is this a good choice? Some examples, Yamamoto HS-6, Ortofon lh10000, and many vintage ones I’ve seen. Without a slotted headshell I don’t see a way for rotating the cartridge for zenith adjustment. Also, it will be very difficult to get the the overhang 100%. This also goes for SPU’s in SPU headshells. One reason I think my SPU Royal N is a better choice than in SPU headshell. Am I missing something or are the people using these not caring about proper alignment?

Dear @sdrsdrsdr  @bukanona : Not Ortofon, they only gaves what the people in Japan ask for the 95% of those Ortofon cartridges were sold in Japan in those times: only business. Problem was developed in Japan and that's why Stevenson made what he made it: a stupid alignment. No Stevenson was or is not a stupid gentleman, he did it only what those unknowledge level people were asking for.

Now, please tell me how can you change or make an azimuth correct set up with all those FR7 and other stupid kind of designs?

I was stupid enough to own several of those F7 including the 702. I know what I'm talking about.

Problem with SAEC is not its geometry. Who told you this or from where do you think learned it?. Totally wrong.

Dear @sdrsdrsdr  : You are rigth, in those kind of cartridges you just can't set up the zenith parameter.

In those vintage times no one cares about not even the tonearm/cartridge manufacturers and Ortofon just gave and gives them what they ask for,

IMHO, all those tonearm/cartridge with fixed non removable headshells ( but Ortofon. ) were or are just stupid designers and we are more stupid that they are because we bougth those items.

So stupid those designers and audiophiles that they choosed Stevenson alignment for the tonearm/cartridge set up when this kind of alignment is theworst one with the higher tracking error/tracking distortions all over the recorded LP surface but its last 3mms.

Go figure ! ! ? ?  and exist avid proponents of those items ! ! ! 

Ignorance/extreme low knowledge levels is everywhere.
