RE: Ortofon 2M Black to replace Grado Platinum Reference ?

I'll see your pedantry and raise you.... ;-)
Mine is based on an actual measurement on a calibrated shadow graph. It is the height of the undeflected system and was actually 18.65mm averaged from 10 measurements. As you will no doubt have observed, I suggested using that as a starting position and fine tuning. The arm height scale on the SL1200 for example is based on an undeflected cartridge height. Either way 50um is not going to be resolvable by most people. 0.6mm may also be of little relevance if he doesn't adjust for individual record thickness! On the other hand setting 18.6 will provide a reasonable solution that covers thicker heavy weight vinyl and normal thickness LPs.
