In Reply to: RE: Confessions of a Cartridge/Tonearm/Turntable Setup Scaredy-Cat posted by phinson on August 09, 2020 at 22:05:25
I would add that, so called, factory setups can be problematic as well. I purchased, yet another, turntable, Rega RP6 with Exact cartridge. Very little use, factory set-up.
You got it, way off from the Rega preferred Stevenson alignment even using the three point headshell fixing. So, as you so rightly pointed out, it is essential to trust but verify.

Man, I was counting on the unique three screw rega deal to be my ace in the hole when I aged out of the ability to do the fine work of a regular two screw cart set up.
I figured I had it covered , since I run a hot rodded rega arm, and what could go wrong with three locating screws, since they are holes and not slots, like a normal half inch set up.
So, good to know about the flaw in my plan, but tough to enjoy the news. I had no plan "B".
And , if I get to the stage where I have to farm the work out, I would be right back where the original poster was, before he got wise. Plus the knowledge to do the work will be even more arcane by then.
I guess that will be the time to sell , and go digital.
Having been in this hobby/compulsion for over 40 years over time I had trouble setting up my phono/cartridge/arm etc but would finally get things right(I thought). Now, at 81, I no longer want even to think about doing it again. Rig sounds at least acceptable now so I'll just have to go with it as is. (Unless anyone knows someone within reasonable distance of Hot Springs, AR I can contact.)
