HELP! Thorens TP16 Cartridge Alignment???

Posted by Tone! (A) on October 14, 2014 at 00:52:58

Hi guys

Yes, I have read THE ANALOG DEPT. Thorens notes over and over and there are absolutely no instructions on mounting a cartridge on the Thorens TP16 tonearm.

Yes they show you how to completely dismantle the arm - change the armtube - in fact how to modify the entire turntable, but nothing on cartridge mounting.

The fact is there appears to be virtually no room for adjustment of the cartridge mounting on the Thorens TP16 (detachable) tonearm head-shell. There are fixed position threaded holes in the head-shell... and that's it.

What am I missing here?
