DaVinci tonearm and azymuth


Great tonearm. Unfortunately the azymuth is several degrees from flat, clearly visible with the naked eye. Has anyone else had this problem with DaVinci? Should I just adjust the balance with my preamp and live with it?

If the post is not vertical, I think the shim should go between the post collar and the armboard. However if the headshell is the problem, I think the shim should go between the headshell and the cartridge.
Thanks for all your helpful responses. I checked the base and then the headshell with a bubble level, and there is a discrepancy between the two. Halcro, Peter and Jolanda just sent me a helpful email with exactly that suggestion, which I will try tonight.
I suspect that a shim between the armboard and the arm collar will provide a good solution. I'll be back.
Lewm,
Thank you for redirecting this thread towards the realm of commonsense.
No, the magnificent DaVinci Grandeeza tonearm has no provision for azymuth adjustment. Would appreciate it if anyone could comment on the pros and cons of this design decision.
