Setting up the TT and cartridge the best way for Novice
Just getting my feet wet and wanted to see what would be the best tools to add to my collection in setting up my new TT and Cart. Been ready alot and I read everything from free print online stuff to 750.00 software driven programs. What do you guys think?

Minimum tools for proper setup: Dr Fiekert alignment gauge, a digital scale for VTF, Fozgometer for azimuth (some say this can be set by ear/hearing - the same with SRA), and a test record to use with the Foz.

For some tonearms, e.g. Rega and SME there is no need for a Fozgometer because the azimuth is set by the factory to very tight tolerances.
I use the Uni-Protractor for alignment, but this is a fairly expensive protractor; you don't need one this expensive.

Hi Joe,
I’m down the road in Baton Rouge. There is a guy here I know who has decades of experience setting up turntables, long time audio industry guy. I always turn to him when I need a cartridge set up.
