Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Hi Pete. I have a 103R, 103S and 103 all "retipped" with a Shibata stylus ...

and I have never aligned them any differently than before. I still have a stock 103 for comparison.

I think either the alignment is right or it is not.

What I think the original poster is referring to is the particular alignment not the precision of such or the setup. The Geo-Disc uses Loefgren "A" null points (some say Baerwald but he ripped off Loefgren) and I suspect like most Japanese arms the one he is using is designed for Stevenson null points or very similar.

I personally prefer Loefgren "B" or Stevenson null points but if properly aligned to those or Loefgren "A" (aka Baerwald) null points I find no dramatic, if any, differences as to the profile of the stylus.

Cheers!
