I just received an new Ortofon Rondo Blue from a dealer. This was a replacement for another new one I sent back because the stylus was angled a few degrees to the left and had a bit of a twist.The replacement doesn't have the twist, but the stylus still isn't parallel to the body.
Is this normal? I haven't had this issue with any other cartridge I have purchased.
Thanks

- My dynavector is the same way, my stereo guy aligned to needle rather than cart. Still strange though, but great sound. - jdaniel 13:51:18 01/17/06 (0)
