Audioquest PT6 counterweight question 🙋‍♂️


Wanted to know if anyone has information on how to

set up and Audioquest PT 6 arm. Also, I do not know 

if the counter weight is supposed to have a grub screw 

to hold it to the end of the tonearm.

If it’s suppose to have a grub screw, there will be a threaded hole in the counterweight. The AQ PT 5 I owned decades ago had a friction fit counterweight.

AQ upgrade status on their tone arms consisted at times of just offering an upgraded tonearm cable. Not sure the difference between a 5 to a 6. If there is no obvious difference by looking at photos, maybe looking up a "5" could give you setup info?

I was able to download the manual by going to Library and searching AudioQuest and then Pt6. Nothing about a grub screw though, just setup instructions.

I had the Pt7 a very long time ago and don't remember a grub screw.  O ring friction fit maybe?  The only grub screw I  recall for sure is the VTA adjust.
