Spindle-To-Pivot Distance

Hello.

Suppose I have a tonearm that wants to be mounted 250mm from the spindle.  But it would be a little hangy-off the edge at 250 but I could mount it cleanly 240mm out.  What's the worst thing that could happen if I do 240?  Do I hear 245?

So if you go by there methods you have 2 null point with everything is supposedly perfect and the rest goes into various degrees of distortion. Love to meet the guy ,without seeing the record, who could pin point the null points with his ears
.
Good answer.

If someone actually did this and heard it sound that bad then there you go.

Sounds like you could do it right and only have to put up with it looking bad. If that is the case looking bad is better than sounding bad.
