In Reply to: Someone should make aa device for popular Tt which when stuck on headshell, gives perfect cart alignment posted by Elizabeth on July 28, 2012 at 08:58:19:
I'd love it if that were possible, Elizabeth. In fact, I've made a little jig out of small clear-plastic boxes the gets me into the alignment ballpark with my Oracle Paris/Sumiko MMT combination. I also use the Technics jig on my KAB-modded SL-1200.
But it would even be simpler if every arm/table maker followed Bill Firebaugh's philosophy as practiced on the Amadeus and Simplex tables: There's no provision for any type of cartridge adjustment at all. Just a fixed mounting position. (Firebaugh claims to have figured out the optimum mounting position for every cartridge! And who am I to say he's got it wrong?)
