I have a Superscoutmaster......In my experience proper azimuth adjustment is the most important adjustment. VPI arms balance on a single point and will rock when imbalance occurs. There is now a 2nd pivot which is on sale now that stabilizes the arm and greatly enhances the performance. Proper azimuth can be had with the use of a Fozgometer and its accompanying test record...easy and effective. Test with the lemo connection in place.
Azimuth adjustment on VPI Scoutmaster
Hello,
I was looking for some advice on the azimuth adjustment of the VPI Scoutmaster. The problem: If I set the azimuth with the lemo connector unplugged, when I plug it in later the azimuth is no longer correct (because the lemo connector and tonearm wire pull the arm slightly inward). I therefore decided that it would be best if I made the azimuth adjustment with the lemo connector plugged in. Is this correct? Anybody have any experience here?
Thanks.
Tom
