overhang [message #13306]

Is it possible to adjust for correct cartridge alignment at the 2 null points with different overhang distances? Assuming, of course, the same arm and cartridge on the same table. Or, is there only 1 overhang that goes with successfully adjusting to the null points?
Guess I'm also trying to figure out whether it is possible to determine the correct overhang for any arm with no known overhang specs. Any info or opinion much appreciated.

I'm not sure if that specific question is answered in the documents below, but I think it's probably worth looking.

I would say yes at least for midrange and high quality TTs. On each of the headpieces I have there is a slot that is about ¼ inch. I have never bothered to measure overhang and I usually set the cartridge at about 2/3rds of the way down the slot.
