Re: Baerwald alignment of my 103R on SL1210

Yes, it will need to be at least that far forward, maybe farther. There are two reasons. First, your tonearm is mounted so that a 15-mm overhang places most cartridges in the middle of the slots. However, Baerwald's alignment requires 17.8-mm overhang. Secondly, Denon DL-103 series cartridges have only 7.5-mm distance from stylus to mounting holes whereas most cartridges have around 9.5-mm. This means the DL-103 needs to be moved farther forward regardless of the alignment chosen.

Good luck,
John Elison
