I'm the guy that suggested a modern TT (as opposed to using a 30 year old TT) in an earlier post. The Pioneer PL-15D II was never the be all and end all of good TT enginerring. Nor was it immensely popular in the marketplace either. I said previously, if you are having trouble maybe a "modern TT" would be better. I suggested that because lets say you bought a Rega P3... you wouldn't have headshell issues -- it's a fixed headshell. You would have a proper alignment gauge -- it comes with one made for it. You could get 100 people here explaining the whole thing to you properly because they've sold millions of them. It doesn't have to be a Rega to meet this criteria, just one that is well supported, sold in large numbers and regarded well.

Do a Google search for Pioneer PL-15D II... not many resources show up. In fact, your posts here are the most prominent links that do show up.

I hope it has worked out and is the "end of story." TTs are easier to setup than most folks make them out to be. But you can still end up with a lot of setup problems down the road and with a 30 year old TT that doesn't have a huge following you're going to be figuring it out -- on your own -- every time you make a change or something goes wrong.
