Align cartridge to offset cantilever ?


Hello, what to do when aligning a cartridge with the cantilever slightly offset ? All I have is a geo disc to use. But following their instructions to align the body to the grid, and the next step is to look if cantilever lines up. Obviously it does not as it is slightly offset as I said. Should the cart be slightly offset from the grid, so the cantilever is straight with the grid, as apposed to the body ? Obviously you cannot have both.

The alignment should always be based on the stylus/cantilever. Using the body is just an easier way for me. Just because the cantilever and the body are not in alignment does not mean something is wrong. I have seen new carts that are not perfect. My suggestion is to set it up and listen to it. If it sounds right who cares if it doesn't look perfect.
