STP distance. Is it critical ?


Is the Spindle To Pivot distance critical with a slotted headshell.

I am talking a difference of +/- 1 or 2 mm.

For sake of discussion, i have a Graham Phantom II and a Mint LP.
Will i still be able to track the entire arc if the stp distance is off a bit?

The specs are:
STP distance is 217.5mm
Effective length is 235mm

Thank You all for the info you have provided. To make it simple, i will ensure that the STP distance is dead on BEFORE i attempt to align the cartridge (A90) with the Mint LP.
Thanks again.
Forgive my ignorance Raul but, what is IEC and DIN and the difference between both.
Which should i use.
My tonearm is Graham Phantom II and Ortofon A90.

Thanks
