Re: need help with nott horizon/rb250 setup (overhang)

I found the geodisc or the turntable basics $20 mirror gauge are both
very helpful.
For many years I used a Thorens tonearm with a proprietary gauge which was very straightforward and simple particularly as the arm wand was removeable, I could just sit at my desk and aligh the cart. to fit the gauge perfectly and easily.
Of late I'm using different tables and arms, and being Diabetic
and not being a kid anymore my eyes leave a great deal to be desired
but I read enough posts of folks wanting their set up perfect and using 2 different expensive gauges with differing results, in short it doesn't have to be perfect, as there is no perfect position it's all a bit of an approximation based on what system is being used.
I had a dealer friend who is a serious analog obsessive with 35+ years experience demosnstrate his technique this guy is a serious anal retentive perfectionist, he threw a Geodisk on the platter and
in less than 3 minutes he was satisfied the cart. was properly aligned.
So just relax give it your best shot with whatever gauge you have and then sit back and enjoy the music.
