What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion?
I like chocolate. I know cocoa beans.  
What is your to earl’s Maximum Distortion %?
It’s a Grace 707 - the headshell is not removable, unfortunately (in this case).  
Interesting Tiefenbrun interview, 2006
hiworo5255, you’re post above rings like a spammer’s bell  
What's all the fuss about late 70s and earl 80s run of the mill midfi turntables?
I am usually surprised at how good most of those 70s and 80s ‘consumer grade’ low- and mid-level turntables actually sound. They look like plastic toys and are mostly lightweight and almost flimsy. In that light I am almost always impressed by the...

Time for us to lobby the cartridge/stylus industry for zenith error specs!  
What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion?
Zenith error should be able to be resolved with a compensatory alignment angle I assume. Ears seem an adequate way to hone it in, once an appropriate alignment protractor is chosen and set to (although time consuming).

Thanks to those who posted their figures. It is much appreciated.  
My Impossible hum issue.
Sounds like tonearm wiring. Is it continuous wire, or are the cartridge leads soldered onto the arm?

Thanks petg60 and Raul, much appreciated.  
What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion?
Most of us understand that measurement is the only way to actually know what is going on. Which is a theoretical argument in itself, seeing as probably no one who uses this site with any frequency has the equipment to do such measurements. I am j...

Good point, lewm. I will reword my question: Does anyone have the theoretical figures for your tonearms’ maximum distortion % and maximum tracking error degrees, based on the vinylengine Overhang Shift Calculator?  
What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion?
Does anyone have their tonearms’ figures, re: max. distortion % and max. error degrees?  
What is you tonearm’s Maximum Distortion?
Right now I am using the HiFi news test LP protractor, just because it is handy. Does anyone know what alignment it is? And I am mostly curious what the figures are for the tonearms of folks like you? Just because this is a new area of exploratio...

I’m trying to make careful measurements, but only using a metal ruler - nothing fancy - and plugging the measurements into the vinylengine “Overhang Shift Calculator”. https://www.vinylengine.com/tonearm_alignment_calculator_pro.php?arm1=Grace+2...

I like chocolate. Do you like chocolate? I like chocolate best.
