Cartridge Alignment and Tools
Quote:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are a few documents (.pdf) and a link that may get you started. There are lot's of articles and views on how to set up a turntable, which really includes setting up the 'table, tonearm, and cartridge. My suggestion is to read as much as you can and take notes of the various steps and the order they are in. Then aggregate your notes to make a single list of steps to follow, or come back here (your thread) with questions. It will seem daunting at first, but have courage it takes more time and patience than technical knowledge. There are a few words or terms that may be new. You pay want to print or study the following diagram before starting to read, because you're likely to read about what it depicts: Here are some articles: Analog 101 - The Audio Beat, Roy Gregory - apparently no longer available - too bad it was helpful. Setting Up a Turntable - Theory (PDF) Turntable System Setup (PDF) Practical Guide to Turntable Set-Up (PDF) - Michael Fremer There are a variety of tools that make the different steps of 'table setup much easier and more accurate. Here's a list of tools I use - stolen from another thread: Quote:
Try using what I'll call a 'practice cartridge' to get familiar with cartridge alignment. That way you won't be worrying about toasting your $$$$ beauty. I suggest a Denon DL-103R - its got lots of sonic virtue in its own right and only a couple hundred bucks on ebay. You can set-up your own 'table and have fun doing it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by tima; 09-03-2017 at 02:30 AM.

@tima do you have a specific test record that you recommend for setup?
