In Reply to: Yes, but for a given linear offset. posted by Garth on November 14, 2006 at 20:33:47:
As Jim stated, linear offset is not an independent variable. It is a combination of offset angle and effective length. The third independent variable is mounting distance.Linear offset is rather interesting because you can tell from a tonearms linear offset whether a specific alignment is possible without altering the angle of the cartridge in the headshell. Also, linear offset remains constant as you slide a cartridge fore and aft in the headshell slots even though this action changes effective length and offset angle.
