Cartridge Alignment HELP


I am trying to align my new Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge on my Audio Technica AT-PL120 turntable, but I don't know how. I understand that I can use the protractors posted on Vinyl Engine, but I don't know how to use them. I can't find any videos or specific instructions; the closest I can find just say to "align it."

But how? How EXACTLY do I align my cartridge?

Tell us where you live. There might be a member nearby who can assist you with the matter. I've traveled a few hours to set up tables and align cartridges and I know others on the site have been gracious with their time as well.

Another tool that you might seek out is the Geo Disc. You can buy one here:

Although it may not be as accurate as some of the other protractors, it's a pretty simple method to align your cartridge and should work fine for you.
