Lower the cartridge onto the platter and check the azimuth level
with the bubble of the Mini Level Gauge. With the cartridge
raised away from the record surface, slightly loosen the headshell
tube locking screw and rotate the headshell in the appropriate
direction to set the correct azimuth.
When the adjustment is complete, re-tighten the headshell
b
tube locking screw and remove the Mini Level Gauge from the
headshell. Now you can set the correct tracking force of your
cartridge according to the manufacturer's instructions.
For the correct setting we recommend using the Clearaudio
Weight Watcher touch digital cartridge scale (Art. No. AC163,
also available at www.analogshop.de).
After completing all adjustments, please make sure that the signal
cable forms a smooth loop upwards and that the supports (Pic. 27) of
the folding base are screwed up so that the tonearm gently rests on
them when in the horizontal position.
For a perfect sound, we recommend checking the tracking force,
azimuth and VTA settings again and correcting them if necessary.
tonearm is now fully adjusted and ready to play.
Please be extremely careful during the following
steps. Please always lift the cartridge away from
the record surface.
Adjust the approximate fore/aft position of the cartridge.
The optimal distance of the stylus to the middle of the
headshell carriage is 62mm (see Pic. 25).
Use the Mini Level Gauge provided for the following
azimuth setting.
Place the gauge centred on the top of the headshell
(see Pic. 26) of the raised cartridge.
