Jlin, Your explanation is very clear. I now understand what the issue is. Thank you very much. I will try to measure the distance and let Yip know.
SME V with MINT LP TRACTOR
I want to improve my cartridge alignment and buy the MINT TRACTOR for my SME 10/SME V combo but was told by Yip that "SME tonearms do not allow EFFECTIVE LENGTH adjustment" so I have to measure and supply to him my cartridge's hole mount to stylus tip distance. Therefore, my MINT would be TT/arm/cartridge specific. The SME V manual clearly states that HTA (horizontal tracking angle) is adjustable by sliding the arm base back and forth in its mounting tracks. So the SME V "effective length" or HTA seems highly adjustable. Am I missing something? Does anyone know the mounting hole to stylus tip distance in mm for an Airtight PC-1? Thanks.
