[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 821292, member: 2310"] :facepalm: There is no standard for cartridge height (distance between tip of the stylus to the top of the cartridge). Usual practice is 16-17mm, with 17mm being mentioned in some articles as adopted "de facto" standard. However, you will find many cartridges, especially the short cantilever ones, that are closer to 15mm. Denon 103R is 16mm IIRC. Here's are a few curiosities for you - Stanton 881 with it's mandatory rubber mount is exactly 20mm. Stanton 500 with rubber mount - 16mm. - Audio Technica - a few that I measured just now - between 16 and 19mm - Shure - stubbornly at exactly 17mm, from old M75 to current M97xE with V15 and M97HE in between - all of them the same. So, stop sweating the small stuff, put a spacer in, get the long screws, off you go. So, the azimuth chatter was a red herring. Again, if the stylus is in the vertical plane, there is no need for azimuth correction. [/QUOTE]
