Pivot to Spindle distance

My P2S distance is off by about 5 mm (over). But my cartridge seams to be aligned pretty good. Is there any advantage to having the P2S distance exact? Sounds spectacular with my redoing the entire setup.
Must have had a senior moment during the P2S alignment part.

I kind of figured that but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on something.

@ tooblue
Good observation. And thanks for the compliment. But no, I had to drill in a totally new arm board I got from VPI when I went to the 10" arm. The 9" had a different mounting location. The VPI jig was also new for the 10" as well as a Wallytractor.

” However, a 5mm longer arm ’might’ have a different recommended overhang than what is specified for your arm’s length/exact pivot location.

Ok, this is interesting information. I’ll look into this.

Lewm,
I used that term loosely. The diamond follows the arc on my Wallytractor and the cantilever is parallel with the null points.

Thanks for all the valuable information. Stringreen summed it up in the fewest words-  " if it ain't right, it ain't right"
I decided even though everything else is in alignment I'm still going to redo it and get it right all around.
