Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I have a buddy that stresses over the measurement...

things with test records and using a scope to set his Azimuth. He use the TEST LP's and tries to get his cartridge/tonearm to track the very last torture track. Always fiddling with with his table and wonders why he can't get it to do the test record or other measurements he read it should do. He says I why can't i get my table to sound like your? The first thing I ask him once it's all aligned properly and setup right is, How does it sound? If it sounds great then leave it alone! :) I always tell him let your ears be the judge! But I do tell him that setting the cartridge up correctly is important and not torture tracks.

One cartridge I did have to go up to the limit was my Shelter 901. It sounds best right at the limit and anything lower would not sound good or I would have sibilance type sound on some LP's.
