Phantom B44 overhang concern

Enclose a picture of my cartridge on a B44 arm.

Notice where the position of the cart is.
I aligned it using the mint protractor.
the sound is quite good.
What happens if I move the cart more forward ?
I know the overhang changes. Granting i aligned it with the two null points. Would there be some negative effects ?
I consulted some people on this regard. Some feel, the overhang is not that important provided the cart is aligned ?
thanks for the guidance.

What's wrong with it? If that's where the alignment system says it should be, then leave it. It has great contact with the headshell and for all we know this is where the cartridge designer wanted it mounted in relation to headshells.

Of course my answer is conditional on all the measurements being right, like the arm hole drilled properly etc to.

You've got a great arm and cartridge, enjoy !
