Benz help

Sorry guys, should have been more clear. My left/right angle isn't to bad, just slightly off. Actually rides in the middle without the anti-skate.

What I meant was the verticle angle, being viewed perpendicularly to the cart. It seems to be riding pretty low compared to when there is no contact with the record. I didn't know if the MC's compressed more than the MM's.

Tvad, yeah I checked it before I bought it because it was a concern of mine...it's at about 9.9-10.2 in res frequency, so it seems it should work.

Viridian, it never bottoms out...I'm using the shure for tracking force (i know not the most reliable). The distance is probably 3/16 to 1/4 (at work now)...It doesn't ride nearly as low as the Goldring it replaced. But, the Goldring didn't have such a drastic change in angle.

I'll try taking a couple pics so y'all can see what I'm looking at if you want me to send to your email, since I don't think we can post here can we?

I lowered the VTA slightly this morning. It's pretty parallel at the tonearm and the cart. I'll try droping just a touch lower and see what comes of it...

I have the tracking at 2.0...it is a used cart and i was worried about that...but he offered my money back if it doesnt work...if you dont mind sending me a private message so I could send pics that would be great....for what its worth...it sounds absolutely stunning, and that is with my tonearm wire still just touching the terminal as I have to resolder it...but coming from the goldring I was expecting a big difference

Oh shoot...Sorry about that, thought I put it in...It's the Pro-ject stock arm for the MMF-5 (2.1 I believe).

Thanks Stringreen, I'm going to raise it some today and see how it works out. I'm probably pretty close to 3mm down from horizontal myself. I will also take some better measurements today as well.

Thanks Pied as well. I keep reading it's b/w 1.8 and 2.2. I'll toy around with these today as well
