Sure, a turntable is perhaps one of the most misunderstood pieces in audio. The fact that they are not generally considered part of a new system when someone shops, means they are getting less popular for people to play with. Most people of the age to remember them, do so with either great fondness, or great horror.
Anway to the question: the vertical tracking angle of the cartridge affects harmonic distortion, time distortion , focus and tonal balance. This angle is dependant on the height of the tone arm. Lower the arm, and the sound becomes muddy and booming bass wise. Raise it to high, and the sound will get sharp, shrill and take on screeching treble tomes.
Hope that helps.
