Tracking error distortion audibility
Dear Axelwahl, this way this is leading nowhere in an endless circle.It would really make sense if you browse through Google and download the original papers by Baerwald and Loefgren about tonearm geometry and the complex interrelations. Reading t... 
LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix??????
Dear T_bone, the system Kftool describes does provide pressure with the outer ring plus the center weight and further - by straddling the LP in its center - does provide something like a "material tension inherent pressure" by creating something l...

Dear Axelwahl, good to learn your mounting distance is fine. If you had checked that earlier, we could have spared some time and space here...Anyway - if you still have inner groove distortion when the tonearm geometry itself is fine, then this ca... 
LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix??????
Dear T_bone, you know I like to look at TT and tonearm questions from the physical and geometrical point of view first.Well - even if you use say 30 adapters with a step of 0.1mm each in compensated eccentricity, it will still be a fairly easy, co...

Dear Axelwahl, the pivot bearing to spindle distance does NOT determine were your zero-error points are located. Again - see the Graham alignment tool with 2 options to adjust to either Baerwald or Loefgren - the zero-errors are on different point...

Dear Axelwahl,I will keep it as short as possible.1) it is possible to adjust teh overhang by moving the whole tonearm. But if you do so, your specified mounting distance is gone unless you move your tonearm on a circle segment always amintaining ... 
LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix??????
Dear Kftool, dear T_bone, the best possible way to solve the problem with the notorious LP eccentricity should be a pure mechanical one and - most important - should go without any alternation on the given LP itself (widen the spindle hole etc. et...

Dear Peterayer, agreed. When you know the stylus tip to mounting hole distance you can get a good geometry with new calculation based on the SME V's mounting distance. Thats where the MINT protactor and its specific individual calculation comes in...

Honestly, - what I have described is not my opinion, but simply the physical fact and the geometry. You do not have to "believe" me or the "arguments" made. Please read the papers published in Audio Engineering Society Jopurnal during the 1950ies ... 
Mounting of a tonearm.
Forums - Analog - page 2,3 or 4 . Last entry was about march 23rd I guess. You'll find it. Total answers about 158 or so. 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Dear Axel, we do talk about the same thing. However - there is a huge missinterpretation by several SME V owners.On the whole sliding distance of the SME mount - some 25 - 40 mm - there is ONLY ONE POINT where the spindle - pivot bearing distance ... 
Mounting of a tonearm.
Dear all, I strongly recommend for all interested in tonearm geometry and its proper application the highly controversial thread "Prices of oldskool tonearms" here on Audiogon Analog. It goes into the very detail of the topic and illustrates, why ...

Dear Axelwahl, the TT's spindle to the tonearms pivot bearing point is NEVER variable in a pivot tonearm. It is the ONE single FIXED foundation of a given tonearms geometry. The distance of the tonearms pivot point to the center of the LP (= spind... 
Good reciever to buy with phono stage
Have a look for the older Rotel Recievers from the late 1990ies............ some do even feature several good surround options AND Phono. Best sound for the money. 
Tables That Feature Bearing Friction
Dear Livemusic, I have been involved in lateral/vertical air bearing for 5 years and given an air bearing with a large number of individual "openings" - a sintered material for instance - there is no problem with "safe landing" in case the air sup...
