" I believe the adjustment at the pivot is the same as the slots in the headshell."
It is for setting overhang. However when using an arc protractor instead of a single point type there is a significant difference. The former relies upon the radius of the arc being calculated from the specified effective length of the arm. That is fine if the stylus position in relation to the pivot is known as stylus to pivot distance is the effective length. However if such an arc is used but the effective arm length is not known or other than specified by the arm manufacturer then the radius of the arc will be incorrect.
In most arms this problem does not arise as the cartridge and, thus, the stylus position vis a vis the pivot can be altered in the headshell slots as it varies cartridge design to cartridge design. In SMEs it cannot, so to use an arc protractor the actual , rather than predicted, position of the stylus needs to be known in order to calculate the correct radius of the arc. Which is why Yip at Mint asks SME customers to measure the distance from stylus to mounting holes (the latter being fixed in an SME arm). Only then can he calculate the correct arc.
