Hi Jon,
First thanX for the Input.
Secondly....
>>>>you forget to mention two things:
One, DO NOT adjust the counterweight with the stylus on the gauge!!!!<<<<
Ahhhm. Yes. Sorry, every-day blindness. I thought that that was OBVIOUS....
>>>>Usually, the tonearm will have weight markings that will get you in the ballpark AFTER the weight has been zeroed.<<<<
Actaully, many of todays favourite arm's DO NOT have these markings. Specially a few of the Rega's, Linn's and so on. All these feature spring adjusted tracking force (which BTW is a pretty bad Idea).
>>>>Regarding the protractor set-up:<<<<
Again, thanX for the Input. Most people however will not have the tools to set overhang by geometric methodes, never mind the information required. So using a Protractor for both the Overhang and the alignment in Axis is workable and will be the only methode possible for many people.....
As for SRA vs. VTA, as they are directly related and because there is no geometric methode that is correct for all LP's, the only really sucessfull methode is to set this by ear. Worse, it varies widely with record companies and production times....
ThanX again for your comments
Later Thorsten
