Does "perfect alignment of cart" eliminate 100% ?


Does perfect alignment or close to perfect eliminate 100% inner groove distortion ?
I have alignmed my arm and table a lot of times only to still hear some IGD ? granting one can perfectly align the cart, can one eliminate it 100% on all LPs ? or does most of us here still get IGD ? only some are minimal ?

Stylus profile, in my experience, has much more to do with the elimination of IGD than any other parameter.<<

Nope. Precise alignment is the key.

The stylus profile contributes to good tracking but all stylii will minimize IGD provided the cartridge/tonearm match is proper.
