@wlutke , Was curious as to the practical performance implication of the 1/2mm difference other than those known about different null points. Thank you
Cartridge Change Overhang Difference-Fixed Headshell
I’m using a SME fixed headshell arm and an Art9 cartridge that was mounted with a Yip mint protractor. The Art9 mid hole to tip distance is 11mm. A new Art20 is stated as being 10.5mm. Opinions wanted as to use same protractor or not or Estimate the 0.5mm and shorten the arm, pivot distance. Note, this is not about the $130. That difference of 0.5mm would change the intended null points (Baerwald) and/or ultimately affect the sound in general shifting the distortion to slightly different points on the record? Thanks
