can anyone recommend a person in LA area to pay to install a tricky Koetsu cartridge


Hi,

Assuming social distancing and stay at home order not violated, can anyone recommend a person in Los Angeles area that can be hired to install a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum cartridge which I understand is a bit harder than most cartridges to install. I have a person or two but they are not currently available.

Mulveling is right. Get a cheap cartridge to practice on.

I have a KRSP too. It’s harder to install because the cantilever is hard to see, but it’s also easier in that the body is rectangular, and so the orientation of the cantilever can be inferred. Also, as noted above, the stylus guard is tricky - you might want to practice that with the cartridge rigidly mounted.

Also, with such a wonderful cartridge, it makes sense to get it absolutely right. To that end, I use a torque screwdriver, micro bubble level, and callipers to make sure that measurements are exactly right.

Good luck!
