Re: Setting Cartridge alignment using a Two Point Protractor

212.186.255.3

Thanks, Brian, also for clearing up the terminology. You're right: the tracking error (cartridge axis/groove tangent) is the difference between the lateral tracking angle (effective length/groove tangent) and the offset angle (effective length/cartridge axis). I've been thinking of it as the tracking angle.

I had some difficulty following you when you say that you can set cartridge angle at the inner point when the headshell slots aren't long enough. How can you know that the protractor is correctly rotated relative to the arm pivot when you don't get it right at both points and grids?

Thanks again!
