Before I say much more. I know that when B and O made the MMC cartridges for their parallel tracking turntables they designed a stylus to work better in a parallel tracking arm.
It may ultimately explain why parallel tracking arms have problems with compliance which is different in the lateral to vertical movement.
So my question is this, has anyone thought or attempted to make a stylus that does not/minimises distortion from trancing error that is inherent in a tangential arm - or is that the case already? Do cartridges designers design a cartridge with tracking error in mind or is it from a theoretically perfect moment on the record when everyone line s for a couple of rotations of the LP?
Likewise are any modern MC's made with pt arms in mind?
